2026 was a year of renewal for the Arkansas International. Please support us in our commitment to literary excellence--and to fostering deep connections between writers and readers around the world. To read our newsletter, go to tinyurl.com/arkintnews

Send us your stories, poems, comics, and non-fiction about all the ways we labor, whether emotional, physical, or mental. How does labor form and inform our lives? What does our work say about what we love, or about what or whom we care for? What does it reveal about what we hate or fear? Hired labor, hard labor, labors of love, or laborious revenge, all of it creative fodder. Send us your best, unpublished work by January 15, 2026!
