Submissions

Fig:ment seeks work broadly and creatively related to our themes of mental health, mental illness, neuro-diversity, and the mind in the body. We are always interested in creative explorations in style and form, and accept fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and graphic/comics fiction and non-fiction.
