Our winter open reading period for literary translations and new plays begins on December 1, 2025 and runs through January 12, 2026. For our literary translation series, we welcome volumes of poetry, collections of short fiction, and completed novels in translation from both emerging and established translators. For our drama series, which celebrates innovative storytelling in dramatic writing, we are keen to see submissions of finished full-length plays (60-120 min. running time) and particularly welcome submissions from emerging playwrights.
