Contribute
Moving forward, we will replace the quarterly open call with submission windows. The two-week windows will be published here and shared on social media. We hope this will give contributors more time to work towards the deadline.
The Toe Rag’s Summer 2025 issue will be on the theme ARTEFACTS. The theme may be interpreted freely. Above all, we seek work that is ambitious, considered and incisive. We welcome non-fiction, fiction, poetry, reviews, criticism or anything in between. We recommend reading past writing in the magazine before submitting.
We accept proposals of up to 300 words and full pieces of up to 3,000 words. Proposals should clearly indicate structure, content and intended word count and must be accompanied by a writing sample, published or unpublished. For arts and book reviews, please send an expression of interest with a writing sample.
All submissions should be sent to hello@thetoerag.com, along with a short bio. Due to the high volume of proposals we receive, we can only respond to successful submissions.
The following submission window is 28 March – 11 April.
The Toe Rag’s Autumn 2025 issue will be on the theme THE PASTORAL. The submission window is 12 June – 26 June.
We look forward to reading your submissions.
