Submissions
Interested in being a Feels contributor? Fantastic!
We are currently accepting submissions for Issue 22: Dreaming
deadline: February 29 2024
release date: July 2024
What does it mean to dream? What is our relationship to dreaming? Whether we mean the conscious or unconscious kind, our dreams can motivate, frighten, and delight us. They can divide or connect us; confuse us or bring us clarity; inspire or halt us. They can be our catalyst, yet can be snuffed out in an instant. How do we interpret, understand, and respond to our dreams? What are they telling us? In issue 22, we explore our dreaming experiences—both awake, and asleep.
Please send all submissions to submittofeels@gmail.com
We accept:
Writing: poetry, personal essays, fictional stories, interview proposals.
Visual Art: photography, illustration, art, typography.

Please note: Feels is a labour of love, community-based project that does not turn a profit, so unfortunately we aren't able to offer monetary compensation at this time. All our writers and artists volunteer their time and work to us and we understand that sometimes that model doesn't work for everyone. We believe in fair and equal work for all and are hoping to rectify this in the future if we are able to receive grant funding.
