About the Open Call

Peace is a quality of relations we need to work towards in every generation. Unsolicited Press is seeking work that speaks to the ways we inherit and carry forward peace, both as a daily practice and a way of living in good relationship with the world around us. The anthology aims to include essays, poems, and ritual practices that offer pathways for collective dialogue. Submissions in multiple languages are welcome (with English, Spanish, Portuguese, or French translations for indigenous and creole languages).

What is Offered

Contributors receive a free copy of the anthology upon publication. The anthology will also include an audiobook version.

Original work only. Prose: Up to 1200 words. Poetry: Up to 4 poems (7 pages max). Still Images: Up to 3 images at 300 dpi. No AI-assisted submissions. Simultaneous submissions are accepted with notification.

How to Apply

Submit via the Duosoma online manager. Include a brief cover letter (250 words max), the title of the piece in the form, and the manuscript in .docx format or images in jpg, tiff, or png format.
