SUBMISSION
GUIDELINES

​​NOMADOLOGY is currently open for submissions for our Summer Issue until the 15th of September 2026!
 

Explore with us . . . Heat. Languid summer. Burn of a too-long tan. Day spent lounging poolside. Skinny-dipping in canals. Melting glaciers. Itch at the collar. Heat beyond repair. This summer, submit works that burn, that sizzle, that spark heat and cause corneas to squint. Submit pieces of poetry, short prose, photography, and essays that resonate with this theme.
