Hi Brook! That’s a great question, thank you for asking. We will consider all submissions based only on their individual merit. We also do not collect any demographic information, such as age. Therefore we do not have an age limit in place for submission or entry to Cobblestones.

Will excerpts from a larger fictional work be considered? Or will only complete fictional works be considered?

Hi Jack! That’s a really interesting question. As with most literary journals, our goal in publishing the work of artists and writers is to showcase and celebrate acts of creative production. At Cobblestones, we believe that the world always needs more art and that sharing it is a public service. Hope that answers your question!
