Originally, our magazine's name—Creation—was inspired by ecofeminism, a philosophy that sees nature's regenerative power and the creative force of femininity as inextricably linked.
Today, that foundation remains at our core; each spring, we embrace a new feminist theme, using it as a lens to explore the evolving narratives of womanhood and creative expression. For our tenth volume, we are seeking vulnerable, diverse literary and artistic works inspired by the creator's experiences with empowerment, exploration, socio-cultural boundaries, and complex interpersonal relationships. We are pursuing works that engage with women, femininity, gender, social criticism, cultural themes, and discussions of equity at their core.
Genres accepted for this issue are poetry (including but not limited to short-form, comic strip poetry, blackout, prose poetry, blank verse, and free verse), fiction (including but not limited to flash, micro, speculative, and general fiction), creative nonfiction, social commentary, and short screenplays.
We are not accepting full-length manuscripts or works longer than approximately 5,000 words for this volume.
- We welcome all styles and forms, from lyric to experimental, traditional to hybrid.
- Poems should engage with the theme in creative, unexpected ways—whether through personal reflection, political vision, or speculative imagining.
- We accept only original, unpublished fiction and nonfiction.
- Simultaneous submissions are fine, but please notify us immediately if any of the works in your submission are accepted elsewhere.
- We do not accept previously published work.
We are also seeking art pieces, including but not limited to photography, collage, paintings, digital art, and canvas works, to be featured as the volume's cover art. Please ensure your submission is of adequate digital quality before submitting.
- We accept digital and traditional artwork, including illustration, photography, painting, collage, and mixed media.
- Artwork should fit the 8.5 x 11-inch cover format (portrait orientation).
- Submissions must be high-resolution (300 dpi minimum; PNG or JPEG preferred).
- Please include a short artist statement (100-200 words) about how your work connects to the theme.
- Selected artwork will be featured as the cover of our printed issue.
- We do not accept AI-generated art.
If you are unsure whether your piece meets our criteria, feel free to submit, and you will hear back from us sometime after our submission window closes.

Editing on a Budget
We are currently open for Summer 2026 editorial projects and accepting a few select clients for the season.
Affordable, collaborative editing for every stage of your writing journey.
We know that great writing doesn’t always come with a big budget and that every writer deserves thoughtful, professional support. Through Editing on a Budget, we connect writers with emerging editors mentored by our senior team.
Each editor brings care, curiosity, and attention to detail to your work, guided by the same editorial philosophy that shapes everything we do at CM Editorial House. Our goal is to make editing financially accessible while nurturing the next generation of editors.
Because we take on a limited number of projects each season, patience is appreciated as we review inquiries and match writers with the right editor.
Whether you’re revising a novel, shaping a short story, or preparing a submission, we’ll help you find the right fit for your work and your budget.
