Submissions are currently OPEN for work to be published exclusively online at Epiphany. Everyone who submits work for online publication will receive a complimentary digital subscription to Epiphany, available as a link in our initial submission response email.
We hope that when you read Epiphany, you'll get a sense of the great variety of stories, poems, essays, and genre-bending work that we like, and the recurring themes to which we keep returning. We hope that you'll enjoy and connect with the work of your fellow writers, and that you'll feel you're a valued part of our community, rather than just another lonely writer sending your beloved work out into some unsympathetic void. We hope you'll see what makes us different. We hope you'll feel you have a stake in our endeavor.

Submissions are currently CLOSED for the print issue, for the Fresh Voices Fellowship, and for the Breakout! Prize. Digital subscriptions are available here, which includes access to the current issue. The digital issue is available as .epub, .mobi, and .pdf.
