SPRING 2026 ISSUE UPDATE

The Smoky Quartz Spring 2026 issue is in production and will be published by the end of May.

Thank you to everyone who submitted work! We received outstanding submissions in poetry, prose, art, and photography. We’re grateful for the opportunity to consider your work for the Spring issue. Once again, the selection process was both thorough and challenging: we spent many hours carefully reviewing each submission before making our final decisions. We regret we could not publish all of the excellent work we received.

Please follow this News page for further updates on the Spring 2026 issue and on future issues of Smoky Quartz. You can also sign up to receive announcements and submission deadlines in your inbox by clicking on the Subscribe option at the bottom of every page.

The Editors, Smoky Quartz
