Hive Avenue Literary Journal

There are presently no open calls for submissions.

Hive Avenue will accept 100 free submissions each month. Beyond that, submissions will be accepted with a $2.00 fee. Submissions will open December 16, 2024 for a Spring 2024 issue.

All submissions are required to be original, previously unpublished works and must be submitted electronically. 

Hive Avenue wants to represent writers from all around – there is no geographical requirement, and we accept both established and new writers, though we are always particularly excited to help launch an emerging or student writer!

Simultaneous submissions are welcome (and recommended). Please do let us know if your work is accepted elsewhere. Multiple submissions within a single genre are not permitted; however, we do accept multiple submissions in separate genres. Physical submissions will not be accepted. 

Hive Avenue seeks to foster a diverse range of voices and perspectives. Submissions should respect the dignity and rights of individuals and communities. We encourage submissions that explore complex themes and topics with sensitivity and thoughtfulness. We do not accept work that contains graphic violence, explicit sexual content, or otherwise offensive or inappropriate material. This includes but is not limited to hate speech, discrimination, and derogatory language.
