Nonfiction submissions for 2025 Cutleaf Journal

Cutleaf, an online literary journal with an annual print anthology, is currently open to submissions in nonfiction. We welcome writers at all levels of experience to submit original literary nonfiction in English for consideration.

Whatever the topic, we are looking for well-written, imaginative work that invites a reader to join the writer in thinking through what it means to be alive in the modern world.

Cutleaf is a journal run by writers. We try to treat writers as we want to be treated:

1. We charge no fee to submit.
2. We pay from $100 to $300 per published nonfiction piece.
3. We reply to submissions in a timely manner, usually not later than three months and generally much sooner.

We are interested in work by all writers, especially those historically underrepresented in literary publishing.

Cutleaf is a project of EastOver Press.
