SUBMISSIONS NOW OPEN

All submissions are due November 30th!

issue iv: Delta

Issue 4: Delta

A river delta is the place where a river and lake connect.

We want to hear about your points of connection; your relationships, where you come from; and what connection or divergence means to you.

  • A delta (a river delta specifically) forms where a river meets a lake or another large body of water, depositing sediment as the river’s flow slows. Knowing this, we wanted to hear more about your connections and divergences— what does it mean to come from somewhere, and where do you want to go?

  • We’re very lenient on what submissions need to qualify for the theme! Interpret the theme however you want. We’re so excited to see your individual stories however they take form.

  • Submissions close on November 30th. Please feel free to contact us for any reason if you have questions about this deadline!
