Gaudium is seeking original, never-published submissions for our Autumn Literary Issue! We welcome poetry, short stories, creative writing, creative non-fiction, and literary analysis that focuses on Catholic writers and perspectives. Pieces should generally be under 3,000 words, though we will consider longer pieces that can be split into installments.

Submission Deadline: Friday, July 15, 2022

Please email submissions and direct all inquiries about the issue to submissions@gaudiummag.com!

Accepted formats are Word or Google Doc, PDF, or text in body of an email. (Please be sure that the formatting will remain consistent when it is sent; poems, for example, will not retain spacing or indentation across some formats.)

In the subject heading, include “Literary Issue Submission.” In the body of the email, be sure to include your first and last name, contact information, and a 1-sentence author bio with your preferred author name.

Finally, please share this post or email with writers you know!
