“…It is necessary to have five hundred Pounds a year and a room with a lock on the door if you are to write fiction or poetry.”
– Virginia Woolf, A Room of One’s Own
In 1987 my short story The Silver Frame was published in Room of One’s Own, a journal dedicated to promote the works of emerging writers.
“In 2007, the collective relaunched the magazine as Room, reflecting a more outward-facing, conversational editorial mandate.
Currently,Room publishes short fiction, creative non-fiction, poetry, art, feature interviews, and regular features that promote dialogue between readers, writers and the collective, including “Roommate” (a profile of a Room reader), “Room Recommends” (short recommendations of books, films and music), and “The Back Room” (back page opinion pieces on feminist topics of interest).”
37.4, open issue

Before submitting, please read our About section to see if your work fits within Room’s mandate, then refer to the Submission Guidelines on how to format your work.

Sometimes, it’s good to risk and go out of our comfort zone. So go ahead and submit something.
