Editorial Focus

At Five South, we amplify diverse voices and narratives that challenge convention and explore the intricacies of the human experience. We seek emotionally resonant, thought-provoking, and innovative submissions, whether they push the boundaries of form or embrace traditional storytelling. We curate a collection that reflects our world’s rich cultural landscape, offering a platform for both emerging and established writers to share daring, insightful, and transformative work. Our goal is to create a space where bold ideas and unique perspectives thrive.

Tips From the Editor

As you prepare your submission, remember that we’re looking for work that not only tells a story but also evokes emotion and sparks reflection. Don’t be afraid to take risks—whether through experimenting with form, delving into complex themes, or exploring unconventional perspectives. Be mindful of pacing and structure; every word should serve a purpose. Most importantly, trust your voice and the story you want to tell. Authenticity resonates with readers, and it's often the pieces that feel most personal that leave the deepest impact.
