Literary Bodies OPEN For Submissions: June 2026

Charlotte — Mon, 01 Jun 2026 02:01:27 GMT

A monthly series of publications currently open for submissions of all kinds of writing disciplines and genres. From poetry and fiction, to essays and translations, you can find it all here.

Here, you can find a list of literary magazines, writing contests, and small presses that are open for submissions this month. From here on out, we will be posting one of these type of posts each month, on the 1st of each month, so you have more time for writing and submitting at your fingertips.

To help our founder, Charlotte (who currently runs two Substack’s on her own), feel as though all of this compiling is not for nothing, please consider subscribing and pledging your support, and even leave a comment below on which publications you have submitted your writing to. Each little bit of engagement, truly means the most!
