As a literary magazine, we curate our issues as if they are a seasonal based menu. The table is the issue. Sit, consume, and take your fill.
We are not a food magazine or recipe outlet. We seek literary work in poetry (translations as well), fiction (generally short stories or flash fiction), and creative nonfiction (essays or memoir-esque excerpts). Please understand that we do not want to focus on food themed work. That's like thinking that Prairie Schooner only focuses on work concerning nautical vessels and land features. We do use food and beverage as a means to unite people for fundraising efforts.
Starting with issue four, we will be charging submission fees but have waivers available. It is to help cover costs of printing and submittable. Contests are on hiatus until 2026.
Issue 3 is available as PDF. Due to financial hardship, we cannot print an over-bulked edition and print copy of issue 3. Issue 4 is slated to be print only.
pass the salt presse is what homes this project. We are currently working on filing an EZ-1023 and then to secure a bank account to become an official nonprofit small press and lterary arts organization.
