All submitters must have a connection to the North Coast to submit in the categories of Poetry, Nonfiction/Memoir, Fiction, and Visual Art. You may submit to multiple categories, and the $3 submission fee applies to each submission.

The North Coast Squid, A Journal of Local Writing, was first published in 2012 in collaboration with The North Coast Citizen and is now published by the Hoffman Center for the Arts Writing Program and our dedicated team of volunteers. This full-color literary magazine offers local writers and artists—as well as those who have a strong connection to the north Oregon coast—a way to share their work in print. We publish the North Coast Squid every other year in odd-numbered years, and 2025 marks the 10th Edition.
