We are accepting works of fiction (prose, short stories), poetry, nonfiction (editorials, personal narratives/essays), different forms of visual art (painting, graphic design), and photography!
We will pick one winner from the written submissions, and another winner from the visual art/photography submissions. The two winners will be published in the Spring 2020 Print Issue of The Liberator, and they will be invited to celebrate the release of the print issue with us, at our annual release party in March.
