hi andrea, i'll update this in the guidelines, but for this prize we only accept previously unpublished works though work published previously on social media or your own website/Substack/blog is totally fine!
Submitted! This is the first time I've submitted a personal essay rather than a poem or artwork, so I feel very accomplished to have even done it- and therefore, already satisfied. Thanks for hosting this!
"All submitted work is considered for publication in Strange Pilgrims" - does this mean that even stories that don't win the prize might be published in the magazine? Thank you!
Hello! Excited about this contest - I am wondering if I can submit to it if I have an open submission with you from March, or if I need to wait for the next one? Thanks so much in advance :)
Strange Pilgrims is like a newborn baby who came out as a grown-ass man. Only around for six months? Y'all are boomin

This sounds amazing! Is work we've submitted for other contests, but not published, eligible? ☺️
1000% !! Thank you Olivia 💙
Hey all!
Is the submission deadline Aug 31 at midnight? or some other time on the 31st?
I have the same question. Have you learned the time/timezone for the deadline?
Weird question: submissions only in English? 😅

Classic procrastinator question, but is the submission window open until 11:59 on the 31st?
Are multiple entries allowed? And do people who are already subscribers also get a subscription bump?
This is making me want to write a story again ✍️😍

Hi. Please delete this after you read it: you have a typo on your awards page!

Third line: "Transparency & Disclaimers."
You're missing an S on disclaimers.
Happens to us all.

Hi. Can I submit more than one short story, or just one entry? I have a few ideas knocking around.
