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!

 

Our January 2024 submissions window is now closed. We received approximately 1500 pieces of work to review, and we are moving as quickly as we can.

If you submitted and haven’t yet received a response, you will receive one no later than February 28. If you need to reach us in the meantime to withdraw your piece or you have a question, you can drop us a note at 34orchardjournal@gmail.com.

 

 

 

As we welcome 2024, we also welcome something very special: 34 Orchard‘s 5th anniversary. That’s right! It’s hard to believe, but four amazing years–and eight issues–have flown by already. Our Autumn 2024 issue will be our 10th.

34 Orchard’s Spring 2024 submissions window is now open! We will only be open from January 1 – 15, 2024, so if you’re planning on submitting, please keep in mind that anything after January 15, 2024, will be deleted unread (and yes, we adjust for all worldwide time zones. So that’s after January 15 at 11:59pm wherever you are).

Need to do a quick final polish on your piece? Check out our Manuscript Final Polish checklist here: https://34orchard.com/2022/06/18/sixty-second-sub…polish-checklist/ It’s a JPEG, so you can save the list and keep it handy or print it to use for all of your subs in 2024. Want other great submissions tips you can use anywhere? Check out our blog and just scroll on back.

Thanks to those of you who wrote in letting us know that our link to the “Manuscript Polish Checklist” was broken. We can’t correct it on the email that previously went out, so here is a re-post with the corrected link so you’ll have it right in your email.

Thank you for supporting 34 Orchard!
