Submissions period for The Mom Egg are now closed, and will re-open in the late spring.

The Mom Egg publishes sharp, articulate, inventive work
by mothers about everything
and by everyone about mothers and motherhood.

Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but please let us know promptly if your submission is accepted elsewhere. Email for notifications is info@themomegg.com.


We choose pieces based on artistic merit. We are a labor of love, and are unable to pay for pieces at this time.

The Mom Egg acquires first-time publication rights to the piece. We also reserve the right to republish it in a future electronic and/or print edition or anthology. Back issues are archived indefinitely. Rights return to the authors after publication: authors retain their copyright, so after their contribution has appeared in The Mom Egg, they may republish their text in any manner they wish—electronic or print—with acknowledgment of The Mom Egg as the original place of publication.
