Welcome to The Vault – an online literary magazine. Founded in 2020, The Vault looks for works by writers 50-years-old and above. We read and publish submissions on a rolling basis. Submission guidelines are listed under the Submit tab.

We feature a variety of genres, including Shorts (fiction and non-fiction), Fiction, Memoir, Essays and Poetry. Click on “The Vault” tab to read our Authors’ work and on the “Authors” tab to read more about our writers. Short talks with some of our writers are featured under the Take 10 Podcast tab.
