The Miller’s Damsel
A Literary Journal of New Writing and Art
Poetry ● Flash fiction ● Art & Photography
A miller’s damsel was a device that fed grain into the eye of a grist mill’s grinding stones. It served as a rhythmic agitator that assisted the grain’s flow. Without the damsel’s tapping motion, the grain wouldn’t feed properly, which would either slow the milling process or damage the stones.
We welcome all submitters but invite especially LGBTQIA+ writers to send us work.
We adore a ton of print journals, but these are some of the publications whose work consistently we like for their innovative styles. It may help if you look at a few of the poems or flash fiction they publish before submitting work to us:

Our submission window is April 1st to May 30th. We have no submission fee. We will not consider AI-generated writing but we have a bit of leeway as far as graphic submissions go.
Send up to 5 poems in a single Word attachment, or up to 2 pieces of flash fiction—up to 1000 words, give or take. You may write your poems in the body of an email, but if they have special formatting, like stepped or dispersed lines, an attachment works better. Flash fiction submissions likely work submitted best as Word attachments.
For photography and art, send up to 6 pieces. We consider photography and all mediums of art including drawings and photo montages/collages. Nude art will be considered, but with circumspection. Submissions along the lines of pornography or otherwise illegal graphic submissions will not be tolerated.
Please send a bio as an attachment or within the body of your email. You may include your address if you like. If we accept your work, an address will be required if you want your contributor copy. Payment is one contributor copy.

Privacy Policy - the basics
Having said that, a privacy policy is a statement that discloses some or all of the ways a website collects, uses, discloses, processes, and manages the data of its visitors and customers.
