Exclusive Fee-Free Submission Period for BIPOC Writers

Inspired by the mission and role of the town common, an egalitarian gathering place, The Common aims to foster the global exchange of diverse ideas and experiences. As such, we welcome and encourage submissions from writers who are Black, Indigenous, people of color, disabled, LGBTQIA+-identifying, immigrant, international, and/or otherwise from communities underrepresented in U.S. literary magazines and journals.

Fee free submission period for BIPOC writers, June 12-26, 2023, thecommononline.org/bipocwriters/ on multicolored background with faint outlines of spiked shapes.
In an effort to remove barriers to access, The Common will open exclusively for BIPOC writers for two weeks, and waive submission fees, from June 12–26. Outside of that time, submitters with any financial hardship can contact us at [email protected] for a fee waiver.
