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 submitted work to us since we re-opened to submissions in June. We will reopen to submissions again in 2026.
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.

A few little updates you might wish to know:
And speaking of submissions guidelines…Just a little reminder to please read them all before submitting. I know it’s been a long while since we were open to submissions, so I’ve allowed a little latitude these past few weeks, but going forward I’m going to have to get strict, and I don’t particularly want to. So please follow them! Highlights worth noting:

It has been a while…over two years in fact, since we posted any new writing to the journal. But hopefully, that is set to change as we are now open to general submissions again! Yay!
So what does general submissions mean? In short, submissions with no set theme or genre, in 100 words or less for flash fiction, or 10 lines or less for poetry.
