Rustica Journal

 Full details 

WANT TO BE A PART OF FUTURE RUSTICA EDITIONS?

Now’s your chance! We’re accepting submissions for the next edition of RUSTICA. Whether you’re a visual artist or a writer, we want YOU to send us works that you think would suit future releases. If you’re interested, please send .pdfs/.jpgs of your work to rusticajournal@gmail.com. Our team will review your materials and let you know if you’re eligible to be featured.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

Rustica is a print and online literary and arts journal. We accept writing from any genre, including poetry, essays, literary criticism, fiction, dramatic writing, and translation. For visual art, our tastes are similarly broad but rigorous; accepted work will be able to communicate with our readers from within the confines of a trade paperback-sized piece of paper.


Our submission period for Rustica 3, which is being released fall of 2024, is now open. Writers wishing to be considered for inclusion in that issue should send their work to: rusticajournal@gmail.com.

Visual artists should send high-resolution photographs of the submitted work to the same address. Simultaneous submission is allowed, but please let us know if the piece you are submitting has also been sent to other journals. Our goal is to respond to submissions within six weeks. If you have not heard back from us after that time period, please just sent an email to the gmail address, and we will try to get back to you immediately.


We really want the work in Rustica to have not been published before, but every once in a while, if it’s really amazing, we will make an exception. Payment for accepted work is $25 per accepted piece, and a free copy of the journal in which the piece appears. We apologize for how little this is, but until the journal achieves a little more success, this is all we can afford to pay.


In general, if you’re wondering whether your work of art or writing is right for Rustica, please buy a copy and read through to see what you think. If you have any questions, please feel free to send them to the email address above.


We want to see and read your work.

Full details  Overview Founded in 1971 by veteran paperback editor Donald A. Wollheim, along with his wife, Elsie B. Wollheim, DAW Books was the first publishing company ever devoted exclusively to science fiction and fantasy. Now almost 50 years and two thousand titles later, DAW has a well-deserved reputation for discovering and publishing the hottest talents in the industry. Many stars of the science fiction and fantasy field made their debuts in the pages of a DAW book, including Patrick Rothfuss , Tad Williams , C. J. Cherryh , Mercedes Lackey , Kristen Britain , Melanie Rawn , C.S. Friedman , and Tanith Lee . Despite its high profile, DAW is still a small private company, owned exclusively by its publishers, Elizabeth R. Wollheim and Sheila E. Gilbert. Betsy and Sheila are strongly committed to discovering and nurturing new talent, and to keeping a personal “family” spirit at DAW—something they feel is all too rare in today’s world of international cong...

We are currently acquiring titles in the genres listed on the web site. Please keep in mind that while Polis Books does accept unsolicited submissions, due to the incredibly high volume of unsolicited material we receive, we will only respond to queries if we have interest in the submission. If you have not received a response to your query in 12 weeks you can assume we have passed on it. We know how much time and effort goes into every manuscript, and we sincerely apologize that we cannot reply to every submission individually.  Please keep in mind that we do not publish stand-alone novellas or short stories, and novel-length submissions should generally be a minimum of 60,000 words. We will very rarely consider titles under that length. Note: we do not respond to emails that are not submissions . If you want to know whether w...
