The Muleskinner Journal
Long journeys. Hard roads. Good times.
The journey is long, and the road is hard, but that’s why we love it.
We publish stories and poems that keep things moving.
We deliver the goods. Right Here. For Free.
Journal Seventeen
Peaks and Valleys
For Journal Seventeen, for 2026, we’re back on the move.
Our theme is Peaks and Valleys.
Find here work that wanders, marches, scales, and sinks. Find here work that tilts the horizon.
We present work that traverses uneven ground, poems and stories that go downhill fast, and poems and stories that take that long uphill walk to school, and back home again, to that shining house on the hill, the one that looks smaller from a distance, despite the enormity within.
Read what we find.
Be what we find.
Submissions for Muleskinner Journal Seventeen are open from February 1 through March 15.
