Welcome to the Orion Submissions portal. Below you will find all current active windows for submissions, events, and writers’ workshops. Thank you for your interest!
Orion is now accepting nonfiction story pitches for our Summer 2026 Whale Issue: The Deep Dive.
Send us your ideas about cetaceans! We are particularly interested in stories that examine historical perspectives around conservation and industry. No orcas, please — we’ve already got them covered.
Please note that we are looking for nonfiction pitches, not full stories. Try to keep pitches to 500 words or so.
And in general, we’re not able to consider submissions for poetry, fiction, or AI-assisted works at this time.
For more information check out our submissions page.
