Dear —,

Thank you so much for your recent submission and trusting us with your work.

The Marrow is open for submissions three times a year. For reasons of fairness and sustainability, we ask that you do not submit work to consecutive issues, but you are welcome to submit again for Issue Four, which will open around March 2025. Thanks again for your engagement with the journal. To stay in touch with call outs and other news, you can sign up to our newsletter here.
