Phoebe Journal

Phoebe Journal We're GMU's general interest literary journal and we're looking for your submissions! http://phoebe.submittable.com/

Phoebe prides itself on supporting up-and-coming writers, whose style, form, voice, and subject matter demonstrate a vigorous appeal to the senses, intellect, and emotions of our readers. We choose our writers because we believe their work succeeds at its goals, whether its goals are to uphold or challenge literary tradition. We insist on openness, which means we welcome both experimental and conv

entional prose and poetry, and we insist on being entertained, which means the work must capture and hold our attention, whether it be the potent language of a poem or the narrative mechanics of a short story. Phoebe: Journal of Literature and Art, publishing original work since 1971.
