The theme for the Smoky Quartz anthology is Transformations. We invite you to explore wherever this concept leads you: into light, or darkness, or shades in between. We welcome submissions from new, emerging, and established writers and artists with ties to New Hampshire.

Thank you to all of you who have submitted work to date. The editors are in the process of reviewing the submissions. We will email notifications following the reading period. You can follow this News page for updates.

Issue Announcements

Fall 2021 Issue

by Monadnock Writers' Group1 Comment on Fall 2021 Issue

We received a fine abundance of prose, poetry, and artwork for this issue. The featured stories range from visitors and messages from the other side to explorations of friendship and family connections. The poetry transports us from wash on the line to the far reaches of galaxies, while Juliette Gagnon Strong Heart shares her distinctive artwork bridging Indigenous past and present. 

Thank you to the writers, poets, and artists who shared this abundance with us. We now gratefully share Smoky Quartz Fall 2021 with you for your reading pleasure.
