When to submit

Literally accepts submissions four times a year.

 

What to submit

We are looking for high-quality fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, and essays that will leave a lasting impression on our intelligent readers. We look for work that touches upon the topics of femininity, womanhood, identity, empowerment, and/or pop culture. These topics are nuanced, and we want to showcase their complexity. Whether your writing is funny, thought-provoking, or serious, please make sure it's the very best you can make it. 

​

We do not accept any submissions generated by artificial intelligence. By submitting, you certify that your work is entirely your own. 

​

How to submit

You can submit through Duosuma during our regular reading periods. We charge a reading fee of $2.00 for each submission. Please include a bio and/or cover letter. 

​

If you're selected

We pay $25.00 for each fiction and nonfiction piece and $10.00 for each poem. As our magazine grows, our payments will, too.
