What are we looking for?
Dyddiau Du Press is a working-class, queer press. We are interested in innovative writing, art and interdisciplinary work from Welsh & Wales-related artists & writers. We won’t read or tolerate hate speech or AI.
We accept submissions for prose pieces and essays, art and poetry. We’re especially interested in arts writing and reviews, as there aren’t many places to publish arts or exhibition reviews in Wales. Exhibitions must be in Wales for them to be reviewed & published in Dyddiau Du Press
Please email us about translations & bilingual/Wenglish works.
Simultaneous submissions are fine, but let us know if your work gets accepted elsewhere. We only accept previously unpublished work.
Please send your work to us only once during each reading window. If you get published, please wait three issues before submitting to us again.
