Quibble Lit

Submitting

Quibble, an online and print literary magazine for prose, poetry, and art, is excited to accept submissions for Volume V: Channel.

Submissions that do not follow guidelines will not be considered.
Please read them carefully on our website before submitting.

Contributing authors and artists will receive a complimentary copy of Channel.

Selected works will first be published online at quibblelit.com and promoted across our platforms. They will then appear in print in Quibble Quarterly — Volume V: Channel, to be published in August 2025.

This Volume’s theme is “Channel.”

 Interpret the theme freely — we welcome broad and metaphorical approaches. Our themes aren’t hardline requirements, but submissions that resonate with Channel tend to rise to the top.

Compensation

At the moment, we can only afford to offer complimentary copies to our authors for agreement to share their work online and in print.
