submissions are open

The submissions window for Issue #3 is open until Tuesday June 4th 2024.

Profiles welcomes character-driven fiction and non-fiction — both original works and works in translation — under 5,000 words.

We’re interested in publishing character studies. We love writing that channels the author’s insatiable curiosity about other people (or their talent for self-reflection), is empathetic without bordering on apologia, and shows human nature as it is, not necessarily as it should be.

We also publish visual art — see here for more information.

To get a better sense of what we’ve published in the past and what we’d like to see more of, you can pick up a previous issue from our online shop or from one of our stockists across the island of Ireland.

Ensure you read the guidelines in full before submitting your work.
