Looking to write for CASCADE CASCADE? We're always open to submissions! Below are some basic guidelines for getting your work featured.

  1. Submissions should be sent to CascadeCascadePub@Gmail.com with the subject line "Submission From [YOUR NAME]"
  2. Please limit the length of first-time submissions to 3,000 words.
  3. Our publication primarily publishes personal essays and deep dives. We're looking for unique perspectives and new spins on old discussions. Set reviews, event recaps, and deck techs are not being solicited at this time.
  4. If accepted, know that you'll be expected to work back and forth with an editor to get your piece ready for publishing.
  5. Please refrain from following up on a submission for at least a month. We only publish three issues a year and typically only begin reviewing new submissions towards the end of each issue.
  6. For writers who haven't worked with us before, we are only accepting finished drafts at this time. This allows us to evaluate each piece of writing we receive on its quality and perspective rather than on more superficial qualities like previously published work or existing social media footprint.
  7. Our publication is subscriber only. We ask that writers who submit to us only do so if they're willing to let their piece live behind the CASCADE CASCADE paywall that allows us to pay our writers fairly.
  8. We do not accept submissions that were created with generative AI. Any piece suspected or confirmed to have used AI in its composition will be rejected. Authors with a history of vocal support for the use of AI are unlikely to be considered.
  9. All CASCADE CASCADE authors are paid an equal share of an issue's profits for each piece they publish in that issue. We're always happy to give you a ballpark on what that rate is looking like currently, but please only submit if you're okay with a variable pay rate.
  10. We ask that all pieces relate to Magic: The Gathering, even if only tangentially.
  11. Please do not submit recurring columns or multi-part series unless specifically solicited to do so. We have a lot of writers we like working with and are unable to commit multiple slots to a single concept.
