The Mom Egg
Submission Guidelines
The Mom Egg publishes sharp, articulate, inventive work by mothers about everything and by everyone about mothers and motherhood. So if you are not a (self-identified) mother, your work should deal with mothers or motherhood.
Submissions for poetry, fiction, creative prose and art for The Mom Egg 2012 Vol. 10 are currently closed.
For submissions of book reviews, interviews and literary criticism, videos or computer-based works, please query first at info@themomegg.com.
Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but please let us know promptly if your submission is accepted elsewhere. Email for notifications is info@themomegg.com.
We choose pieces based on artistic merit. We are a labor of love, and are unable to pay for pieces at this time.
The Mom Egg acquires first-time publication rights to the piece. We also reserve the right to republish it in a future electronic and/or print edition or anthology. Back issues are archived indefinitely. Rights return to the authors after publication: authors retain their copyright, so after their contribution has appeared in The Mom Egg, they may republish their text in any manner they wish—electronic or print—with acknowledgment of The Mom Egg as the original place of publication.
Thanks to those of you who have submitted work to The Mom Egg 2012 Vol. 10 (The Body issue).
We will respond by 2/1/12. While we know it’s a long time to wait to hear back (and we may lose some pieces to other journals in the interim) we need the time to give each of the many, many, submissions we receive the careful reading it deserves.
