Submissions
|
Hot Dish Magazine is published annually and takes submissions for short fiction, poetry, bilingual Spanish/English poetry, and the Hot Dish Challenge. Made in the Midwest, we’re now accepting recipes from teens living across the United States to join our National Potluck, so that we can have a more diverse magazine representing more people and a more flavorful feast. We look for work that is full of passion and unique perspectives. We also like work that provides insight into the lives of high school students. We are looking for students who want to learn how to become better writers and who ultimately want to share their voices with the world.

Submitters should choose one of the five images provided and create a piece based on that image, writing about how it makes one feel, a memory, a narrative, or anything else that comes to mind. Works must also be labeled with which image was used for inspiration.
