Haggard and Halloo is an online and print publication based in Austin, TX. We publish creative and contemporary writing by known and unknown writers from all over the world. We’ve posted something new every day since 1999. The posts are based on flow and feeling and one of the editors will usually choose a photo to go along with the post. We do not pay our writers in cash at this time. We pay in love, exposure and free merch. The ads you see on our website are a new feature that we’re hoping will allow us to pay our writers soon. So if you are going to buy something from one of these companies click on their ad on our site and purchase! The money will go to our writers.

This is the 4th version of our website. We are a negative profit publishing house and do not keep any copyrights to any of the work posted here. Since 1995, Haggard and Halloo has released 26 print issues and releases a new issue when time and $ permits. We also publish a new book of writing by an individual every few years.

Guidelines:

We will post previously published work. We accept poetry, short stories, dreams, rants, reviews, essays, letters to and from fictional or real people, lists, visual art, reviews of all kinds and other creative forms of writing. We post something each day, sometimes two and receive many submissions a week. Please be patient while we review your work and don’t send 10 poems at once or bother with 10 page stories. Please submit one piece per posting and include your name. We cannot contact everyone about their poem, but we will try.

Email us at haggardandhalloo @ gmail.com for questions.

How to submit writing:

The easiest way is to use our SUBMIT WRITING page. You may submit writing via email, but we prefer you use this website. To use the site internally (not the SUBMIT WRITING page), you must register as a user, login and use the ADD NEW or QUICKPRESS field to submit via the website. In the text field please add your name somewhere so we know who wrote the poem.

If your poem is ready to go change it to PENDING REVIEW status. If you are still working on it leave it in DRAFT mode.

Note: We are less inclined to post anonymous work, rhyming poetry or long narratives about your soul.

Mail and all review material should be addressed to:
