LIT eZINE Submissions

Terms and Guidelines

• Please submit only your original work.
  We accept work on all themes unless specified. However, adult content, such as erotica, horror, and dark fantasy, will not be accepted at this time as we at Lit eZine wish to reach a wider audience.
• We welcome work published on your own website or social media pages but NOT work already published in a magazine, an anthology or a book (unless it is accepted as a book excerpt). Please mention your site where the work is already published and send us a link to the same.
• Simultaneous submissions are allowed but you must inform us immediately if your work is accepted elsewhere. It is your responsibility to ensure that guidelines for submission are honoured at all places that you submit.
• All work needs to be accompanied by a short bio not exceeding 150 words, written in the third person along with a link to your website or social media where readers can follow and support you.
  You may also submit a photograph of size 250 x 250 px to be published with your bio. (The photograph is optional but we recommend it as readers love to get to know their favourite authors)
• We are unable to provide monetary compensation for accepted submissions at this time. However, we don’t charge any reading fees either.
  What we do give you is a chance to widen your audience by posting live links along with your work so your readers can find you.
  This is voluntary labour of love and we aim for the widest possible circulation and exposure for our writers by keeping our magazine free of cost for the readers.
• All submissions will be read and responded to. Please allow 90 days for a response.
• You may submit not more than three works across genres at one submission. However, you can submit your work again for the next editions.
• If you submit two or more works, preferably in different genres, you will automatically be considered for the “Author Spotlight” section. You may also request to be considered for the same. If your work is chosen to be featured in this section, you will be required to do an additional interview.
• Submissions:
  • Submit all written work as a .doc or .docx. or pdf file. However, we prefer .doc or .docx files.
    The submission may also include a photograph or copy of a work of art to accompany it (in .jpeg or .png format) only if that is also your work and you hold a copyright to the same.
