With the first issue of ionosphere now available in print and as an e-book, we are excited to announce that submissions for issue 2, expected in the second half of 2024, are now open.

ionosphere, focuses on the relationship between science, technology, and the human experience. We seek poetry and essay submissions that explore how science and technology affect our lives, the lived experiences of people of diverse backgrounds and identities, speculative futures, and the natural and built environment in fresh and innovative ways.

We welcome submissions in various styles and forms, from traditional to experimental, and encourage submissions from writers of all backgrounds. If you have work that fits these themes, we encourage you to submit it for consideration.

Please follow our submission guidelines closely to ensure that your work fits the theme of ionosphere.
