What is this?

Calling all writers!

The Inky Piglet is a new literary journal for the Greater Cincinnati Community, dedicated to pieces that are good, true, and beautiful—pieces that uplift the imagination.

We are accepting submissions for our first issue to be released early in the summer of 2026, on the theme, “roots.” This can be taken as philosophically or literally as you like; creativity is encouraged!

The last day to submit work is Pentecost, May 24th. To be considered for publication, each piece must be previously unpublished, incorporate the theme, and uphold the transcendental values of The Inky Piglet.
