Deadline: 28 July 2025
Graywolf Lab is an online platform for interdisciplinary conversations and new writing hosted by Graywolf Press. Each Lab starts by gathering a small group of writers and artists for a virtual roundtable discussing a theme. Over several months, we invite responses to that conversation from more artists and writers.
In July, we will be accepting contributions to our latest theme, Games. We’re looking for short fiction, essays, and poems originally in English or in translation as well as short selections of visual, graphic, multimedia, multidisciplinary, and interactive pieces that engage directly with the work already posted under the theme.
We encourage you to respond to or play with anything on Lab: Games. To start, check out our Spotlights, which showcase unique artistic practices that can be considered a game or games that could be considered art, like using an Etch A Sketch or Solo RPG games. In Table Poems, Jan-Henry Gray invents a process that could be used as inspiration for your own work. Our roundtable and our mood board present some of our own initial inspirations for the theme. We’ll keep posting pieces over the next several months.
If a submission shows no familiarity or engagement with Lab, it will most likely not be accepted.
For prose, please submit up to 5,000 words; for poetry, you may submit up to three poems in a single document. Works of audio or video should be no longer than five minutes. We’re looking for previously unpublished work; if aspects of a submission are available elsewhere (e.g., text from a multimedia piece), you can specify this in your submission materials.
Please send one submission only. If you submit multiple times, we will consider only your first submission. We allow simultaneous submissions, though we ask that you withdraw your submission if it’s accepted elsewhere. If only part of your submission (e.g., one poem out of three) is accepted elsewhere, please add a comment in Submittable indicating what is still available.
Submissions will open on Submittable on July 7 and stay open until July 28 or until we receive 300 submissions. Graywolf Lab will pay a $200 honorarium for any published piece.
