Our Reading Periods Have Changed

Harpur Palate is working towards a more sustainable model for submissions starting in 2024. 

Going forward, for general submissions we will on January 1st with a cap of 200 in each category. General submissions will be open until March 15--or until the cap of 200 is reached. Once we get through the first 200 submissions in each category, we will re-open only if more pieces are needed for our spring/summer 2024 issue. Please keep an eye on our social media if you miss the first cap but would still like to submit! 

For our three contests, we will be opening from January 1 to April 1, 2024.

In 2024, our Fall Reading Period will run from September 15 to October 15, 2024, for consideration in our Fall/Winter 2025 issue.
