Call for Submissions: Resona
Creative Nonfiction, Essays, Short Fiction, Poetry, Hybrid Work
Paloma & Fig is proud to announce the publication of Resona, a print-forward publication conceived as a companion to our podcast, A Resounding Yes! This magazine will be composed of thoughtful essays, original artwork, and creative writing that honor beauty’s role in evangelization, alongside stories of real people bearing Christ into their corners of creation. It asks readers to slow down and meet God in the details, honoring daily life, work, and craft as a site of encounter with Christ.
The inaugural issue of Resona emphasizes listening before speaking, faithfulness over spectacle, beauty as evangelization, and the holiness of the ordinary. It is focused on theological and artistic witness—formed by Marian attentiveness, grounded in Catholic tradition, and oriented toward faithful presence in the world. Resona values a reverence for the contemplative and the enduring.
We are seeking contributions of original writing that reflect this Marian posture of attention, receptivity, and faithful making. Creative nonfiction, essays, poetry, short fiction, and hybrid work are all welcome. We are also open to works of translation as long as you have permission from the original work’s copyright holder.
This is a paid or honorarium-based opportunity. To submit, please email the following to Franci Revel Eckensberger at editor@palomaandfig.com.
- A brief cover letter and bio
- Up to 3 double-spaced prose pieces of ~1,000-2,000 words, 12-point font, 1″ margins
- Up to 3 poems, 12-point font. Please no center justification.
Thank you for submitting to Resona.
