ANCHORED FALL 2026

Would you like to be published in an upcoming issue of Anchored?

We accept submissions for Anchored from ANY interested writers, and love especially to feature members of the Southern Christian Writers Conference community (whether they've attended our annual conference or other workshop or are simply involved in our online groups).

We publish personal essays (true stories!), poems, and short fictional stories that focus on our issue’s theme. For our upcoming Winter issue--the theme is "Turn the Page"--think literally about books, reading, or writing OR consider how life transforms and changes through different chapters (or create a fiction story inspired by those topics). You can interpret the theme in any way you see fit. Use your creativity!

Our essays, stories, and poems are written by Christian writers with a positive, inspiring tone. They don't have to be overtly Christian nature, but we do want them to be encouraging or entertaining in some way. Please limit your essays and short stories to 1600 words maximum; poems can be any length and of any style.

We also include advertisements by writers and other creative folks! Prices are as low as $15, and you can reach thousands with your work! (If you're interested, email us at scwritersconference@gmail.com with "Anchored Ads" in the subject line.)

The Winter issue will be published on December 5, and the deadline to submit is November 10. Please send your essay, short story or poem to scwritersconference@gmail.com with "Anchored Winter" in the subject line.

We hope that you enjoy our latest issue, and we look forward to hearing from you in the future.
