​Mettacine Woman Ink & Ether invites bold, high-quality work that speaks to any aspect of the human experience in female form—birth, adverse childhood experiences/trauma, growth, healing and transformation, sexuality, aging, death, . . . you name it. We seek writing and art that illuminates the courage, complexity, and creativity of womanhood across time, culture, contexts, and consciousness.

​We are currently open for submissions for our debut issue, releasing 2027. ​Submissions are accepted exclusively through Duosuma, our preferred platform.

Submission Period Closes

September 30, 2026

First-Time Publishing Rights

We require first-time publishing rights for all accepted work. This means the piece has not been previously published in print or online, including blogs, social media, or other publications.

Upon publication, all rights revert to the author. We simply ask that any future republication credit Mettacine Woman · Ink & Ether as the original place of publication.

What We’re Looking For

• Fiction: Short stories, flash fiction, or experimental forms that center a female protagonist, voice, or perspective.

• Creative Nonfiction: Personal essays, memoir excerpts, and lyric essays that explore lived experience, transformation, and truth-telling.

• Poetry: Up to 3 poems per submission, any style or form, as long as it pulses with authenticity and resonance.

• Unconventional Works: Rituals, notions, potions, meditations, irreverent musings, you name it. We want to be moved, inspired, intrigued, shocked, horrified, . . . Bold, off-beat, interesting language is always welcome.

• Visual Art: Original artwork, illustration, or photography that complements our aesthetic—mystical, intuitive, and rooted in feminine power.

​

Submission Details

• All submissions must be made via Duosuma. We do not accept emailed or mailed entries.

• Please submit only previously unpublished work. Simultaneous submissions are welcome; kindly withdraw your piece promptly if it is accepted elsewhere.

• Include a brief cover letter and a short bio (50–100 words).

• Each submission may include one fiction or nonfiction piece (up to 3,000 words) or up to 3 poems.

• Visual artists may submit up to 5 images (JPG or PNG, high resolution preferred).

​

Submission Fee

A small $5 submission fee helps support our editorial and design process, ensuring Mettacine Woman Ink & Ether continues to serve as both a publication and a tool for collective healing and discovery.​

​

Response Time

We aim to respond within 90 days of submission. All contributors whose work is selected will receive publication credit and promotion across our platforms.

​

Final Note

Submit what stirs, soothes, or unsettles. We want the work that refuses to be silenced, claws at your consciousness, rattles through the night, and whispers, and moans, and gasps between the pages.

DO NOT SUBMIT AI-generate products. We are committed to honoring the creative process of the brain, the female mind, and the soul that powers the lived experience.
