Get Posted/Get Published: May 2026
Getting published on a large scale or with one of the Big Five might seem like a pipedream these days, if it wasn’t that before AI stepped up. However, that’s why literary magazines like Literary Mama are such a godsend. There are chances to submit to many departments such as Reviews, Literary Reflections, Creative Nonfiction and Fiction, Poetry, and Profiles.
Take a look at our current March/April 2026 issue, in which you’ll love the scope of experiences shared in relation to our motherhood lifestyles. From Creative Nonfiction quiet rituals that are broken by parenting, such as in “Coffee Hour,” by Nicole Hoagland, or the heartbreak that comes from waiting and anticipating the growing ages of your children to only realize it isn’t helpful, as expressed in Krista Puttler’s short but powerful poem, “What is Brave.”
If you too are keen to get posted or published with Literary Mama, below are links to department-specific submission guidelines:
