Identity Theory’s creative nonfiction section is devoted to creative writing that is as thoughtful as it is vivid. We publish experimental and traditional nonfiction including micro, flash, memoir, hybrids, narrative nonfiction, personal essays, and lyric essays. Take us someplace we haven’t been before, show us something that is not as it seems, guide us with an intelligent heart.
While we do not offer traditional compensation to authors for accepted pieces, we put our value to you by carefully reading every nonfiction submission, replying with constructive comments when desired, and publishing your work in our established literary publication viewed by thousands of readers weekly.
How to Submit Your Essay
Essay submissions are available free through Submittable on a first-come basis at the beginning of each month until our monthly cap is reached. After that, you can submit through the tip jar submissions page of Submittable.
We are eager to read your work!
