The Racket staff is constantly looking for ways to expand the diversity of the journal, and its readership; if you are a BIPOC writer, a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, or both, we heartily encourage you to submit.
We’d appreciate a short cover letter. It should include: the name you like to be published under, the titles of your pieces, an email we can reach you at and (if you’d like) a short bio.
Please try and submit your work in 12-point, Times New Roman.
Word documents are easiest for us to work with; Pages, .pdfs and text files work as well.
Only in very special circumstances do we offer feedback on pieces we do not accept.
For those who are already planning on submitting – thank you. We are eager to read your work.
For those who’ve arrived at this page and are fretting about whether their work is good enough, wondering, “Should I submit?” – our answer is this: yes, please –submit your work. We would love to see it.
