FLARE JOURNAL
Call for Editors
Flare is currently looking to expand its editorial board and is open to applications for editorial positions. Interested applicants of any background are encouraged to apply––we look for a genuine love of the arts. As an editor, you will have the opportunity to work with distinguished writers and artists from all 50 US states and over six dozen countries on every continent. We have previously published work from a state poet laureate, published novelists, university professors, and writers and artists whose work has been exhibited internationally and printed in the New Yorker, the New York Times, Harvard Review, and more. Beyond these distinctions, we also have the chance to uplift artists of all backgrounds who may have gotten the courage to submit their work for the first time. The one unifying aspect within our community is a common love for the arts, and we hope you will join us!
Send a short biography describing your interest and qualifications to us at flarejournal@gmail.com. From there, we will set up further communication.
Submit
Submit your poetry, prose, art, and photography for publication- we're looking for work that is honest, personal, and riveting. Anyone, regardless of age or geographic location, is eligible to submit. We currently do not pay contributors- however, we hope to in the future! There is no submission fee. Simultaneous submissions are accepted.
Keep in mind that Flare caters to a wide audience of all ages.

Acceptance decisions for Issue Eight will be released in Spring 2023.
We look forward to reading your submission!
Themed Dossiers
Beginning in Issue Eight, Flare will feature themed dossiers (a collection of work surrounding a particular concept) within each issue to provide more submission opportunities, help artists generate new work, and spark conversations on particular topics. Submitting work themed around the dossier may increase chances of acceptance.
In honor of Spring, Issue Eight's dossier is themed around birds. Subject matter could involve migration, flight, conservation––we encourage participants to go outside, observe the birds that surround your community, and write or create what comes to mind.
