Sinte Gleska University's Wanbli Ho Journal accepts works of fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, and critical essays. Under the genre of fiction, we accept micro flash, flash, short story, short plays, and novel excerpts. We are open to cross-genre/hybrid works, memoir, translations, visual art, short films, and reviews. Please include a cover letter detailing the genre, titles, and word count of work(s) submitted, followed by a short author's bio written in the third person. 

* Prose submissions should be no more than 5000-6000 words, but exceptions for exceptional pieces can be made. 

* For poetry, we will accept 3-5 poems per submission. Please submit all poems in a single Word, Pages, or PDF document. If a piece is accepted, we encourage you to submit audio recordings of yourself reading the accepted work(s). This will be published on the journal's web edition along with your poem(s). Filmed accompaniments to poetry or hybrid/cross-genre work will also be considered--please mention this in your cover letter, if you have such accompaniments. 

* For visual art, we accept 72 dpi GIF, JPEG, PNG, or TIFF files for uploaded images. Individual files must be smaller than 2 MB. Please include the titles of each image accompanied by your last name and the year in which the piece was completed. 

We accept and encourage simultaneous submissions, but please notify us immediately if and when a piece has been accepted elsewhere.

Originating in the mid-1970s, Wanbli Ho Journal provides an opportunity for both local and nationally-known creatives to showcase their talents and share their abundant backgrounds of experience and vision so uniquely inherent within the Native American/BIPOC artist and communities. Prioritizing Indigenous voice and worldview, Wanbli Ho is calling the names and spirits of The People home, to sound in unity and in power. We operate in the knowledge that we are all related and all responsible for the world and reality we co-create. Sinte Gleska University is proud to publish the voices of these relatives. Wopila.
