Submissions
The Green Phoenix invites submissions from anyone who enjoys using language to explore, ponder, celebrate, protect, or inform about the natural world. This website’s goal is simply to use words to reshape our cultural values and our relationship with nature, so whatever form of writing you prefer, I'd be happy to consider your piece for display! (I also accept reprints.)
​
So far, I have only received submissions in poetry and nonfiction essays, but if you have a work of some other genre, please let me know! I would be happy to add a new category to the site.

If you like, you can also talk about why you care about writing and the environment, about your favorite books, or about other aspects about yourself. I'd be happy to get to know you a bit, but I won’t require that.

I'm excited to hear from you!
