Contributor & payment notes:

• We accept submissions of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry through Duosuma.

• Submissions are free! Writers will have the option to donate to us when they submit (and we'd appreciate it!). Every donation goes directly toward paying contributors.

• For an expedited response, donate €10 in Duosuma when you send your work and we will get back to you with a decision in 7-10 working days.

• Contributors will receive €10 per poem and €25 per fiction story or non-fiction essay.

• We read every submission carefully, and we aim to contact all submitting writers within 90 days of your submission.

• If we choose your work for publication, we keep first rights to publish, then return them to the writer, with the understanding that we may use the work in future social media or marketing campaigns.

 

Genre notes:

• For fiction and non-fiction submissions: You can submit up to three stories or essays per submission window. Stories and essays can be any length, provided that they are fewer than 4,000 words in total.

• For poetry submissions: You can send us up to 6 poems. Your poems should be submitted together in a single file, with each poem on its own page.

​

Simultaneous submissions & document notes:

• Submitted work must be previously unpublished. However, work that has been self-published on your personal social media or blog is acceptable. Readers of our editors’ showcase will know: we love self-promotion!

• Under no circumstances will we accept any work that is made – in any part – by AI.

• Simultaneous submissions are encouraged! Just let us know (either through our submissions manager or via email) if your work is accepted anywhere else so that we can withdraw those pieces from consideration; in this instance, you are welcome to submit different work for consideration.

• Submissions should be sent in a legible font – Times New Roman, for example – and no smaller than 12pt.

• Submissions can be sent as PDFs or Word documents.
