General submissions will open with a cap of 200 in each category. We will re-open if more pieces are needed for a given issue. Please keep an eye on our social media if you miss the first cap but would still like to submit!
Harpur Palate is working towards a more consistent model for submissions starting in 2024. We always try to return pieces in a timely manner. Our goal for the following semesters is to have pieces returned in less than 4 months. We appreciate your patience as we balance the needs of the journal with our own needs as humans and students.
