Welcome to SHOWCASE: Object & Idea. We are interested in Objets D'Art and their analysis, their Ideas. 

A poem and a prose piece are selected for each monthly issue, and the authors answer questions about the meaning behind their work. 

We will also run a quarterly issue focused on a single writer with several pieces from that writer and more analysis, including a recorded interview.

Writers can submit 1x for free to our relaunch issue, or multiple pieces for a fee. After that, minimal reading fees are requested for our monthly. Higher reading fees for the quarterly, and other prizes. 

We publish monthly and generally in the 3rd full week of each month via Substack.

Please explore our magazine published at SHOWCASE!

Showcase pays $25 upon acceptance in each category and is sent to over 30,000 followers.

General note on best practices:

Please make sure to submit to the correct category. We won't read poems submitted to prose and vice versa. Please be sure there are no typos in the submission info. Please format your prose properly, with paragraphs, punctuation, and tabs at the beginning of new paragraphs. We receive many submissions and it's helpful to make it easy for us to read. Follow all formatting requests. Polish. We cannot entertain changes to work once submitted. And please read our relaunch note from the new series editor, Bethany Leger. 

Thanks and take care.
