Submit Your Work

We want to hear from you!

The HopeWords Literary Journal is home to a diverse community of writers, readers, painters, pastors, cartoonists, photographers, friends, and neighbors. We aim to amplify creative stories of hope in written word, pieces of music, and visual art—and you can be part of the conversation!

We aren’t looking for the biggest names or the most shocking stories. We’re hosting real discussions between writers, readers, and visual artists—lovers of words and God. So, join us! We want to hear your story.

Now accepting submissions for our Autumn Issue — Some themes to think on include, but are not limited to, holidays, community, hope in change, rest, memory, and imagining our new world.

If you have any questions about the submission process, email editor@hopewords.org.
