Marzetta's House Publishing introduces Monolith.

 

This literary magazine holds space for the voices of people within marginalized groups and identities,

 

challenging stereotypes and breaking free of bondage.

 

The debut issue of Monolith. holds space for Black women of all intersectional  identities to speak their truths.

 

We honor these women for their stories and their voices.

 

Please enjoy,

 

reflect,

 

be free.

Submission Guidelines 

​

The purpose of Monolith. is to create a literary space and community in which ALL Black women of all intersectional identities are represented across the Black African Diaspora. Because we are not a monolith, be unique, be creative, and be you! 

 

Submit up to 3 poems (1 submission fee)

OR

Submit 1 work of prose, poetic prose, or creative nonfiction up to 10 pages

OR

Submit up to 5 works of digital art or photography

 

You are welcome to submit in multiple categories. Each submission is its own fee. 

 

There is a $5 reading and publishing fee to maintain operating costs. All of our editors are currently volunteering their time and talent. If you are not in a financial position to pay,  please email us and we can barter your editorial services! 
 

Proofread before submitting to ensure that you are clearly articulating what you want your readers to know. Please avoid cliches or traditional/common literary tropes. We are not a monolith! 

 

Please do not submit smut unless there is a submission call for that. (Don’t worry, spicy bestie, your time will come! Haha!) 

 

We also ask that you refrain from submitting violent or triggering work as we are careful to not trigger our readers who read for leisure. Those of us who have experienced and written about our trauma and pain will have dedicated literary spaces for our survival and healing journeys. Remember, we got us!

 

We will do our best to accept all works that follow these guidelines. If your work is not selected, you may ask for editorial feedback, which you may use to resubmit for the next issue. 

 

Alright, you’ve made it to the end of the guidelines! 

 

Breathe, sis!

 

Do your best and let God do the rest!
