Submission guidelines

All submissions should be previously unpublished.

We welcome all forms of non-fiction: personal essay, memoir, reportage, travel writing, auto-fiction, and the writing that falls in between.

Our guideline word count for work is 2,000–4,000 words.

Submissions should be in one .doc or .docx attachment and double-spaced.

We are happy to consider simultaneous submissions but ask that you notify us should your work be accepted elsewhere.

We offer contributors a flat fee of ‎‎€300, which we pay prior to publication; contributors also receive a copy of the issue in which their work is featured.

We only accept submissions through our website. 

We publish work by Irish and international writers.

For practical and economic reasons, we discourage the use of images unless integral to a piece of writing.

We encourage submissions from writers who are underrepresented in the arts, due to their socio-economic background, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, age or disability.

All submissions will be closely read but, due to the volume of submissions, we are unable to offer individual feedback. We aim to provide a response within six weeks of the closing date.

To familiarise yourself with the kind of writing we like, see here. We are always open to new ventures.

Copyright remains, in all cases, the property of the author.
