About/Send Work

We’re currently closed for new work until June 20th, 2024!

ALOCASIA accepts creative writing of all genres from queer writers on a rolling basis with no reading fee. Please send no more than 6 pieces to ALOCASIAmagazine@gmail.com. Simultaneous submissions are encouraged, and we DO accept previously-published work. Please send writing in either .docx or .pdf format.

Please include a brief bio, and inform us where your piece was previously-published, if applicable.

We appreciate both traditional work, as well as the weird, erotic, explicit, anti-colonial, and whatever you can come up with.

This is a journal about plants, gardens, gardening, parks, and indoor horticulture. Please don’t send us work that isn’t about plants.

We do not accept AI-generated or AI-assisted writing or art.
