Themes
Because we only publish our annual print journal during the spring, we ask that submissions do not have a holiday theme to it, unless it is around Easter. Otherwise, our journal accepts any topic. All subs must be sent to callapresspublishing@gmail.com.
Welcome to calla press, our literary journal

Online literary submissions open again May 1, 2024. (This differs from our print literary journal that the founder will put out.)
At Calla Press, we create slow art for readers to reflect on and hopefully draw people closer to Christ. We’re releasing collections of essays, poetry, and flash fiction twice a year, in the middle of June and December.
Submissions are open for only two weeks in May and November, and we’re accepting only 15-20 pieces per collection. Follow submission guidelines closely to stand out. The summer collection releases online the first week of June and the winter collection the first week of December.
All submissions must be sent to callapresspublishing@gmail.com.
We put out a Spring print literary journal and the founder handles its operations. The Spring 2024 Literary Journal submissions window is now CLOSED to submission until next year 2025.
