Bring The Shadows. Bring The Light.

Scarlett Wednesday is always looking for fearless voices and bold creations. We want the stories that keep you up at night, the poems that spill out like secrets, the art that feels too strange or too beautiful to hide.

If it moves us, if it lingers, if it feels like *too much* — it belongs here.

What We Accept

Writing—short stories, essays, reflections, creative nonfiction
Poetry— single pieces or a small set (up to three)
Visual Art— illustration, photography, mixed media

Guidelines

• Word count: Up to 1,500 words for prose/essays.
  
• Poetry: Up to three poems per submission.
  
• Visuals: High-res JPG or PNG (max 10MB).
  
• Tone: Thought-provoking, stylish, alternative, maybe a little dark — but always honest.
  
• Original work only: Previously unpublished preferred.
