Dear subscribers of Tiny Memoir,

This is just a little note to say we’ve been thrilled by the response to our Submission Call that was posted a month ago:

Submissions are now open!

Given the volume and strength of submissions, our current acceptance rate is approximately 20%. Of course, this might change as more submissions come in over the next 3 months, but I wanted to give you an idea.

We have finalized our publication schedule: We will be publishing a new tiny memoir on every day that starts with a “T”—i.e., Tuesdays and Thursdays—starting on Thursday, January 1st 2026.

Thank you to those of you who have pledged a paid subscription to Tiny Memoir! Paid subscriptions are currently turned off, but if you would like to contribute to the costs of running the journal (so far, $300/year for a database and professional association membership), you can buy me a coffee.

I also wanted to thank the people who are kindly volunteering their time to read your submissions:

Ren Riley

,

Hannah Emery, PhD

,

Ingrid Fernandez

, and

Steph Cullen

. I would be lost without their help.

Warmly,

Jude Jones.
