What they accept

Phoebe, the journal of literature and art at George Mason University, publishes a winter print issue (submissions August 15 to October 15) and a spring contest issue (January 15 to March 20), with submissions through Submittable only. It sets no strict prose word limit, though work over 4,000 words needs to be extraordinary, and pays $30 per accepted piece plus a print copy. The journal aims to respond within 30 days after a period closes and asks writers to inquire if they have heard nothing 60 days after it closes.
