Local Journal Seeks Original Writing, Visual Art

The Whistle Pig, a Southwestern Idaho literary journal published annually by the Mountain Home Arts Council, is now accepting writing and art submissions for its fourteenth volume, which will be published in Fall 2022. The journal seeks original short stories, poems, memoir, personal musings, drama, song lyrics, and other short literary pieces; it also features a variety of visual art such as drawings, paintings, and photography.
SPECIAL THEME: Living in the Modern Rural West. *Borrowed from the Let’s Talk About It Series hosted by the Mountain Home Public Library. The special theme is meant for inspiration purposes, and while we are particularly interested with Idaho settings, Idaho characters, and Idaho authors, we consider every piece submitted on any theme.
DEADLINE: All entries must be submitted by Monday, May 2, 2022. Those selected for publication will receive one complimentary copy.
