American Chordata is a literary and arts magazine based out of Brooklyn, NY. Our annual print magazine is published in the Fall. 

Submissions in Poetry, Fiction, Nonfiction, and Translation are accepted from January 15th to March 15th. Simultaneous submissions are permitted, as long as we are notified immediately if the manuscript is accepted elsewhere. Writers will be notified of a decision by June 1.

Art and Photography submissions are accepted year-round. Artists will be notified if they have been selected for a Fall issue by September 1. 

We invite you to subscribe for an idea of what we like, and to check us out on Instagram @americanchordata and Twitter @americhord.
