Muleskinner Journal Sixteen Open For Submissions

Deadline: December 15, 2025

Muleskinner Journal is open for submissions. Our theme for Journal Sixteen is: Sabotage! Why? Because it’s so fun to say. Because it thumps like a shoe dropped into the gears. Because it smolders like a slow fuse lit under the floorboards. Send us your beautiful wreckage, your quiet detonations, your elaborate ruses, and your betrayals of self. We’ll listen for the sound of gears grinding, the machinery silenced. Our submission guidelines are here. Do your worst.
