Content Warnings & Explicit Content

Manuscripts are read by human beings who volunteer to keep the press running. To protect our readers, we value content warnings, which we recommend including in your work and cover letter. Do not submit violent content or depictions of rape that minimize sexual trauma. Work that supports misogyny, bigotry, racism, homophobia, transphobia, etc. will not be considered. Failure to follow these guidelines will result in rejection of the submission and ban of the author from future submissions to Newfound.
