Submissions
The Toe Rag’s Autumn/Winter 2025 issue will be on the theme THE PASTORAL. 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clearly indicate structure, content and intended word count and must be accompanied by a writing sample, published or unpublished.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 19 June – 3 July.
We look forward to reading your submissions.
