Tint Journal, the online literary magazine for non-native English writing, is again open for submissions!

We invite ESL speakers of any geographical background to submit their short story, creative nonfiction essay, flash and/or poetry, as well as artists of all backgrounds to submit their artworks from April 14 to May 31, 2025 (midnight CEST) to be considered for publication in our 14th issue on the theme of "Patchwork".

PATCHWORK
Combine, reorganize, transfix. Stitch together experiences, identities, forms. Weave your unique tapestry of words and languages. We ask non-native English writers to invite us into their patchwork worlds for our 14th issue, scheduled for release on September 10, 2025.
We’re not looking for keywords in your texts, and we’re open to finding the theme “Patchwork” as an undercurrent or a central idea in your submissions. What we’re interested in are the different approaches towards this theme from the many regions and voices of our planet, from the patchworks within one individual being to the patchworks that are the governing forms of our human condition.

For a better idea of what we are looking for, please review our full-length call description.
• Please carefully review our submission guidelines to meet Tint Journal’s formal criteria. To avoid your submission from being disregarded, please pay particular attention to our title page request, how many texts/artworks you may send, and word count per category.
• Submissions are received until May 31, 2025 (midnight CEST) via email at submissions@tintjournal.com or via Submittable.
• Inquiries should be addressed to info@tintjournal.com.
