Send in your poetry, short prose, and artwork for consideration for Tidings 2026. Deadline to submit is Sunday, November 15th, 2026.

Winter – cold, dark, depleting. Our ancestors knew that it was a time to turn inward, to focus on the light inside our homes and inside ourselves. This was the time for ghost stories, for the sharing of old knowledge, to keep history and tradition alive. It was a time to gather together, in the hopes of fortifying each other against the long night. We invite you to join us around the hearth, share your stories and your poems, and leave us with lighter hearts.

We accept up to two pieces (you may mix mediums if you’re the multi-talented type): poems, short prose (800 words or less), photographs, and artwork. For text, please submit as a PDF or Word doc. For images please send as high-resolution JPG or PNG files.

Submissions must be sent via email to sarah@domesticatedprimate.com. Please include a brief bio about yourself (100 words or less) in the body of your email.

Please be sure to send your work before our submission window closes on Sunday, November 15th, 2026.

Tidings will be released digitally and in paperback format on Thursday, December 10, 2026. Stay tuned for updates on our annual release party celebration.
