Welcome back to this month’s Submission Roundup! In the coming weeks, there are lots of great opportunities for both fiction writers and poets alike, so if you’ve got a piece seeking a home, then send those lovely words out into the world. A quick disclaimer: as always, I’m not a representative for any of these publications, so if you have any questions, be sure to direct them to the editors at the respective presses.
