Introducing
Gimlet + Garret
We are pleased to announce the inaugural open call for submissions to Gimlet + Garret, a new peer-reviewed journal dedicated to ambitious, interdisciplinary, creative nonfiction.
For our first issue, we are not working from a single theme. Instead, we are seeking rigorous, accessible, and imaginative work that engages the forces shaping contemporary life and possible futures.
We invite scholars, curators, journalists, educators, researchers, critics, practitioners, and independent writers to submit original nonfiction manuscripts that explore art, culture, technology, education, society, history, and futurity across disciplines and modes of inquiry.
Interested in publishing peer reviewed work? We welcome submissions that align with our focus on innovative research and insightful analysis.
Submissions will be accepted from July 5 through August 31.

Editorial Vision
We established Gimlet + Garret to create space for serious nonfiction that resists disciplinary silos and speaks to the conditions of the present moment with depth, clarity, and imagination.
Named for simple tools and fugitive space with which Harriet Jacobs survived and escaped enslavement, Gimlet + Garret aspires to platform anything that helps us get a little more free.
We believe rigorous ideas should not be confined to the academy, and accessible writing should not be mistaken for simple thinking.
We are especially interested in courageous work that challenges dominant mores, expands public discourse, and contributes meaningfully to conversations about how people live, learn, learn, build, remember, and imagine.
