Now closed to art and nonfiction submissions

We are now officially closed to art and nonfiction submissions for Milkfist Issue Two. To all submitters who have yet to hear from us: the editorial staff hope to respond to you by the end of the week. Thank you for your patience and support.

We will open up to all submissions (art, nonfiction, poetry, and prose) for Issue Three sometime mid-2017. Check back for updates.

Milkfist Issue Two Update

We are now closed to poetry submissions and will respond to all submissions within the next 1-2 weeks. We are still considering art and nonfiction submissions, but time is running out.

Closed to fiction submissions for Issue Two

Due to a high volume of fiction submissions for Milkfist Issue Two, we have ended our reading period early. If you have not received a response from us, it it is because your work is still under consideration, and you will hear back from us shortly. We will remain open to art, comics, nonfiction, and poetry submissions until April 1st.

Milkfist Issue Two is set for a late summer/early fall 2016 release date. As always, thanks for your continued interest and support.

Milkfist Issue One out now!

You can purchase it in print or e-book format from our Issues page.

Milkfist Issue One will be released the week of October 11th, 2015! Print copies will cost $15 and e-books $6. We will soon launch an “Issues” page on our website–from there you can purchase the issue via PayPal.
