Submissions/About CMP

Publishing since 2015, officially founded in 2018, Cajun Mutt Press publishes full-length paperback poetry/artwork/flash fiction/short story collections, chapbooks, and weekly featured writer spots here on the main webpage. Featured writers are posted every Wednesday. I’m currently only accepting poetry submissions for featured writer spots. I’m taking all kinds of literature and art for Night Owl Narrative. You’ll find submission guidelines for both listed below.

I prefer transgressive literature. Not a fan of rhymes or squishy writing about beauty and love. Send your deepest, darkest contemplations; the ones you’ve been keeping hidden. I’m looking forward to reading y’all’s work.

Featured Writer and Night Owl Narrative submissions are free, but donations to the TIP JAR are greatly appreciated. CMP also has logo merch available through our online STORE.

Y’all Keep Kicking Ass Out There!
