Changing Skies Prose Submissions

Submission Requirements

1. Please remove your name from your submission and file name (including first age with title, headers, and pagination) to ensure an anonymous selection process for all writing submissions. If your writing includes an identifiable name for you (beyond simply a common first name, etc.) please replace with "MY NAME" and we will restore your name in editing if accepting your piece for publication.
2. We welcome submissions from everyone except current teaching faculty at the University of Colorado Boulder.
3. We only publish creative nonfiction writing, fact-checking as necessary. 
4. Submissions must be climate change-oriented (broadly construed).
5. Submissions must be in Times New Roman 12 pt. font, double spaced. Indicate space breaks, if any, with a hashtag: #.
6. Submissions must be sent as a Word file (.doc or .docx). Do not submit PDFs.
7. All citations, if any, must be done in Chicago footnote style.
8. AI-generated submissions will be rejected immediately. 
9. All submissions are free.
10. ONE piece per submission. Submissions containing collections or multiple titles will not be considered.
11. We consider all work for Print or Online publication, including podcasts. The deadline for annual print issues is each Spring for publication in the Fall. Submissions after that deadline will be considered for the next Print issue, or Online.
12. We accept simultaneous submissions, but please notify us immediately if your work is accepted elsewhere, through Submittable, and pull the piece. We publish only previously unpublished work and obtain First North American Serial Rights: all rights revert to you as soon as we publish your work first. We may then republish or excerpt your work unless you request that we not do so.
