Tendrils is seeking submissions of visual art and short-form literature for its premiere issue. As an art & literary journal, Tendrils is dedicated to fostering healing and sparking conversations around trauma.

The first edition of Tendrils will explore the profound theme of trauma and the body—how it’s held, manifested, and transmitted in physical form. We invite creators to interpret this theme in their unique way, whether conceptually in abstraction, or more realistically.

We welcome art submissions in any medium or size that explore the themes of trauma and the body.

For literature, we’re looking for short-form pieces (max. 1000 words) such as poetry, essays, and short stories that focus on this theme. We’re open to considering an excerpt if you have a long-form work that aligns.

Deadline: Nov. 18th
There is no fee for submission.
