We are getting a lot of humor submissions but are running a bit low on travelogues, craft essays, culture essays and photo essays. Send us more of the road less traveled by (not that we won't love more humor subs).
When we say "try us," we mean it! Form ain't no bar — we have published poetry, drama, lists, graphic art and posters under the "humour" section. And this morning we accepted a craft essay, half of which is in verse. So, do try us folks!

Issue 3 poetry subs will close soon. Very soon. Too damn soon. Send your poems NOW! 😈
And thanks for the beautiful deluge. 🙏
Almost midnight here in India. We accepted 17 fantabulous poems from 5 poets today. Legend has it that we keep regular issue subs open only for a week or so, and poetry fills fastest. Legends are true. Trust them. Fear them. Send your subs fast. Poetry can't wait.

We have the final list for Wee Hooghly Issue 1. Our founding editor is working on a cool graphic to share with y'all.
In regular news, our non-founding editor is down with back pain, so Issue 3 poetry decisions will be delayed. But don't worry; our delays are still pretty fast.🙂

Requesting our submitters to keep a single email thread per submission. For all future correspondences in a submission, please reply to the existing email; don't send a new one. We take great pains to ensure your work gets the best care. This little thing would help us big time.
