Submit Your Work Here!
Thank you for considering submitting your work to The Restless Soul Review! In this literary magazine, we strive to give young, emerging writers the platform to publish their prose, poetry, and artwork/photography--and get it recognized. The only thing that we emphasize for submissions is that they discuss something that makes your soul restless--something that spurs you to pick up that pen and write until you cannot anymore. Something that needs to be heard. If you think this applies to you and your work, please share it.

This Issue's Theme
As summer winds to an end, we encourage writers and creators to address the theme of changes/shifts. Although September's coming, and the subsequent loss of summer, is usually a time of melancholy, we believe that a beginning of a new school year can also signal a great sense of change. For this Issue, we are asking our submitters to recall a time in their lives when they experienced a change or shift, regardless of how drastic or minute it was. Was it good? Bad? How did it shape you as an individual? As always, feel free to take the prompt as literally or as figuratively as you would like. We look forward to seeing all your submissions!
