Submission guidelines

We publish work in any form: prose, verse, script, visual text, essay, polemic, anything else you can think of. We look for radical and experimental work.

We usually publish 4 authors per issue, so there is quite a lot of space available, and we are interested in long pieces, or sections from longer works (eg novel chapters) and we will consider work in progress.

If you are sending prose for the first time please send pieces that are no longer than 4000 words.

We do not publish short poems, only long poems or long series of poems. It's hard to define what 'long' means exactly, but essentially we do not publish the typical 40 line English poem.

We do not return work that comes without a stamped addressed envelope or international reply coupon.

E mail submissions are acceptable, preferably as word or rich text file attachments.

We do not publish CVs, so don't send one.

We do not take submissions for our website, only for print.

Anything else you need to know, contact us.
