Submission Guidelines

Alaska Women Speak welcomes submissions in the following genres: non-fiction, poetry, fiction, memoir, creative non-fiction and essay. We also publish visual art and photography. 

AWS proposes a theme for each of its quarterly installments, but interesting and well-written pieces or images outside the proposed theme are considered. Preference is for submissions of 3,000 or fewer words. 

AWS is a non-profit, volunteer-run publication. We do not pay for submissions, and writers retain full rights to their work published in AWS.
