Word of the Day: 3/30/2026
Submission Cap [noun]
a set upper limit on the number of submissions reviewed within a specific call.
Used in a sentence:
Foglifter Journal has a submission cap of 250 submissions for fiction and 500 submissions for poetry per call.
Fogfifter accepts submissions with no reading fee, and so, receives a high volume of submissions each issue cycle: therefore, a submission cap helps make the labor manageable for its volunteer editors.
When a submission cap has been reached, submissions are no longer accepted, so prospective contributors are encouraged to submit their work early.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:crgub66lzovyi7syvji5odgr/bafkreicp3zkyofy273ibgyi35pup7me473bmvrgq32c3kctxnf5p6myf64)

Text reads, "In Dani Janae’s debut poetry collection, an honest and spirit-cleansing lyric traverses the difficult ground of the Black transracial adoptee experience, giving language to a narrative gap in Black lineages of suffering and survival, in all its difficult beauty. – Erin Noehre, on Hound Triptych by Dani Janae]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:crgub66lzovyi7syvji5odgr/bafkreigx7mxr55ax755cor6xshlndry2dpxooo53n4tiqxpllyz5hwccxq)
