SUBMISSION PERIOD

Our publishing schedule is quarterly – Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. The current submission period is August 1, 2024- October 15, 2024. We aim to respond to submissions as quickly as possible, but our response time can vary depending on the number of the submissions we receive. Please submit once per submission period.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We welcome submissions in poetry, short fiction, and micro-fiction. We only accept previously unpublished work, whether in print or anywhere on the web. Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but please be sure to withdraw your submission immediately upon acceptance elsewhere. Please indicate whether you wish to withdraw a specific piece or entire submission.

Please submit your work in Word or PDF format, remove identifying information from the work, and use standard font type 12p, double-spaced for fiction and micro-fiction and single-spaced for poetry.

We will try our best to preserve the formatting of your work, but it may appear differently depending on the formatting of your work and/or browser.

WE SUPPORT ALL WRITERS

We welcome and encourage submissions from writers of all walks of life, including every nationality, race, religion, gender, and orientation, and those whose perspectives are underrepresented in the literary world.

CONTENT SUITABLE FOR ALL AUDIENCES

Macrame Literary Journal is intended for all audiences. We will not read any submissions containing profanity, excessive violence, explicit content, hate speech and intolerance of any kind.

AI POLICY

We do not accept work created by, or with the assistance of AI. By submitting your work to us, you certify that you are the sole creator of the work.

AUTHOR RIGHTS

Macrame Literary Journal acquires first serial rights, and upon publication, all rights return to the author. If your piece is later republished elsewhere, please mention that it first appeared in Macrame Literary Journal.
