announcement
In nature, you will seldom come upon an object with no discernible beginning or end. For its inaugural issue, yolk proposes the theme of CIRCLES. While the website features works of all genres (i.e. poetry, prose, non-fiction, and visual arts), note that only a few select works of non-fiction will appear in the print issue.
Direct all submissions to: themail@yolkliterary.ca
The submission period for our first issue is Jan 15 - Mar 15. Though submissions for our bi-annual print issue are only accepted during the submission period, we always accept submissions for our digital publication. In the subject line, include the genre of your submission and indicate if you would like your work considered for our website publication (i.e. Poetry_Website). Note that all submissions received during the submission period will automatically be considered for print.
