We accept general submissions of non-fiction, fiction, poetry, fusion poetry, book reviews, criticisms, and visual art.

​

• GUIDELINES - 

  • Format: Submit all work as word documents, and include a cover letter in the body of your email with a brief 50-word or less third-person bio. Work submitted in the body of email will not be considered. 

  • Response Time: We do our best to respond to submissions between 3 and 6 weeks, though sometimes it can take longer, and sometimes we respond as soon as the same week. Please bear in mind that we are a volunteer-run magazine, and as such we will respond as quickly as possible, given the constraints of our professional and personal lives. If a piece is time-sensitive, please indicate as such in the subject line.

    If you have not heard from us in 3 months, please feel free to nudge us. We are human, after all, and sometimes submissions can fall through the cracks.

    We do respond to all submissions, even if they have been in the slush pile for a long time. But as such, we encourage simultaneous submissions, so long as you inform us if a piece has been accepted elsewhere.

  • Previously published work: We will not consider previously published work.

• GENRES -

  • Send all submissions as word documents. If you send in the body of an email, we will not consider it.

  • Nonfiction: 1,200-word limit, although we love a good very short piece. Submit as word document with title and name in document.

  • Fiction: We accept short stories up to 2,500 words. We will consider excerpts under our Notes channel (see below) if accompanied by a review or interview.

  • Poetry: No more than three poems per submission.

  • Art: Send art and photography submissions as .jpg or png attachments. Max of 10 images.

• Simultaneous submissions: are welcome, but please note it in your cover letter and let us know if your work is accepted elsewhere.

• Send submissions to: aliphmagazine@gmail.com
