Our January 2025 window has just closed (wherever you are in the world, that’s 11:59 p.m. January 15; if you send work we’ll check your time zone, don’t worry). We are grateful for the approximately 2000 pieces of work that we received, and we have been working hard to get back to everyone as soon as possible.

If you have subbed within the last five days or so, please be patient as we continue to read. If you subbed earlier and haven’t heard from us, your work is likely still being considered for a spot in our current or upcoming issues, and you will likely hear from us shortly.

If you do NOT hear back from us by February 28, 2025–which is our deadline for responding to everyone–please reach out to us through our Contact form, or send us an email at 34orchardjournal@gmail.com.

Enjoy your spring!
