The coalition is open to all. I welcome marginalized creators, working-class people with existential dread, 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 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.
This project is about humans and our imperfect human expression, please don’t submit work created with AI. I wish you the best if you choose to use AI but that type of work wouldn’t be a good fit here.
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
Follow the coalition on chillsubs for submission opportunities and updates. I am slowly moving away from social media (bluesky, instagram, twitter), but you can stay in touch by subscribing to coalitionist newsletter. It’s our new mixed bag publication featuring short nonfiction, arts calling network updates and special submission opportunities at the coalition!
