COALITIONWORKS CURRENTLY CLOSED FOR SUBMISSIONS.
CLUSTER READINGS WILL OPEN SOON FOR POETRY AND FICTION AUDIO READINGS.
The coalition is open to all marginalized creators, working-class people with existential dread, and outsiders from or currently living in small towns. First-time and established writers alike: I welcome those who have experienced alienation, otherness, and the unbearable absurdity of our existence. Don’t self-reject, I’d love to read your work!
The coalition is a labor of love. A one-person operation. There is no reading fee and no compensation at this time.
Cover letter not necessary. Just send your bio, website, and social media links, please.
Coalitionist (published on Substack) welcomes previously published works no matter when they were published.
coalitionworks (published on this website) welcomes previously-published work if the magazine/journal has gone under, or if the submitted work was published over two years ago. Just tell me in the email so we can credit the previous publication.
No erotica at this time, maybe later. I don’t know.
Don’t send hate speech. You’re better than that.
Please don’t send work created with artificial intelligence. I want your beautifully imperfect perspective, your very human hallucinations, the feral fears and delusions and joys rattling inside your electric brain meat. You don’t need that AI bullshit, you’re an amazing human being without it.
Authors previously published at the coalition (coalitionists), please refrain from submitting to coalitionworks for three consecutive issues. however, i will publish your nonfiction, publication updates, or other contributions from you at coalitionist newsletter anytime. You have my email, so reach out!
That said, I look forward to reading your work! It’s a fool’s errand to reconcile the absurd. Nevertheless, it is a joy to persist. Much love,
j
