The 2025 submission window for both general submissions and submissions written in response to our latest photo prompt are now closed. We have responded to all the emails in our inbox, but if you have yet to receive a response, please do get in touch.

Thank you to everyone who has supported Whispers and Echoes throughout October. Whether you are sharing the words or reading them, it is is deeply appreciated.
Also thank you for the sudden influx of submissions towards the end of the month, both for responses to the photo prompt and general submissions. We now only have a couple of scheduling slots left in November, before we begin scheduling for December. As the photo response closes on the 15th November 2025, I’m thinking that we might close to all submissions for the rest of the year on this date too. The reason is that during the journal’s winter break, I am planning on giving the site a new look…So, if you want to see your work shared on the Whispers and Echoes website this year, please bear that in mind. You can find the Submit page here.
