• eMerge Submission Form

    Submissions to eMerge are accepted from August 1st to October 1st yearly.
  • eMerge seeks writing that is - Electrifying. Inspirational. Audacious. Spunky. Whimsical. And Avant-Garde. "Avant-Garde?" you might ask. We could certainly define it for you, but we would much rather let you (and your muse) decide for yourself what is new and innovative. If we define avant-garde for you, we will only have submissions that fit OUR definition.

    We know that writers and artists work in the loneliest of all professions, inside our heads. Those daring enough to create and reveal something of their inner natures, are to be lauded. The Writers’ Colony at Dairy Hollow salutes your courage and thanks you for your submissions.
