Redivider can now be found at redivider.emerson.edu.

*We are currently reading for our Spring 21.2 issue. Our fiction and poetry submission portals are currently closed while our editorial team works to process our queue over winter break. Submissions will reopen January 1.*

Redivider is operated by the MFA and MA students of the Writing, Literature & Publishing Department at Emerson College in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. We currently publish online twice per year, as well as a yearly Blurred Genre summer mini issue. 

Redivider seeks previously unpublished works from emerging or established authors and artists. We are excited to publish underrepresented voices as well as “offbeat” texts, art, and hybrid works that may not be welcomed at other journals. Please see each division’s guidelines below, and on our website for more specific preferences. We do not publish work from current Emerson College students, faculty, or staff.

We will not consider submissions that endorse prejudice, racism, xenophobia, classism, sexism, ableism, fat-shaming, homophobia, or gratuitous violence. We reserve the right to reject such submissions outright and reject further submissions from the author. We also reserve the right to remove content from our journal if an author is known to be harassing or abusive.

Please submit your work through this Submittable page only. Redivider will not accept work through email or USPS. We welcome simultaneous submissions. 

Authors will receive a contract upon acceptance. Redivider requests first serial rights, and all rights revert back to the author upon publication. Authors retain copyright to their work published in Redivider. If the work is later republished, we request that you note its initial publication in Redivider. We also request the right, with author permission, to use your work for promotional purposes. 

Redivider is currently a paying market. We pay contributors on a sliding scale from $25 to $40, based on word count, per piece published.
