Because a nation deserves to hear its veterans’ stories

Line of Advance is currently accepting submissions for the 2023 Col. Darron L. Wright Memorial Writing Awards.

Submission Guidelines

Type of Work

Line of Advance publishes creative writing in any format, including (but not limited to) short stories, flash fiction, and poetry. We also publish, in limited quantities, original photography and other forms of visual art. All submitted work is subject to the approval and review of our editorial committee. If you’re interested in submitting art or photography email the editor here.

Qualifications

Line of Advance publishes the creative writing of active duty U.S. military members, veterans, and their immediate families. While we will, on a case-by-case basis publish work under a pseudonym, we reserve the right to require proof of military service prior to publication. Any writers approved for publication may be contacted individually via email for copies of their DD214 or military identification card.

Compensation

As a non-profit literary journal, Line of Advance does not currently pay for published works on the website. However, there are cash prizes for our annual Col. Darron L. Wright Memorial Writing Awards.
