Upcoming Journal on Librarians and Libraries: Submit Your Story!

A computer screen floating in clouds as seen through a window.

I’m so excited about this special issue from Inlandia! It’s a celebration of libraries and librarians. As a former high school teacher librarian, I will be guest editing. If you are a librarian and also a writer, we want your creative work on ANY subject (which may include libraries). If you are not a librarian, but have a story to tell/artwork about libraries or librarians, please submit!

Inlandia: A Literary Journey is the online journal of the Inlandia Institute, whose mission is to promote literary culture. While the institute focuses on inland Southern California, the journal has published work from all over the world. The spring issue is teens only, so if you’d like to have a look at a regular issue, check the fall issues. No fee/no pay.

Submit from now until June 30, 2023. Here are links:

I used to be the managing editor. Here’s the last issue I did: https://inlandiajournal.net/fall-issue-2021/ (Fall issues are general issues. The spring issues are teens only.)

It’s pretty easy to navigate—if you click on the first image, it goes to the table of contents.

Hoping to see your work!
