OUR READING PERIOD FOR VERSAL VII IS OPEN
Unsolicited submissions are read between 15 September and 15 January. Submissions sent outside of this reading period and/or which do not follow these simple guidelines will not be considered. To read these guidelines in Spanish, click here.
The Basics — For all submissions
We use an online submission system for all submissions, without exception. Please read these guidelines carefully, then click here. You can submit in more than one genre but please submit only once per genre per submission period. We look for work that is urgent, involved, and unexpected. Innovative forms are encouraged (e.g. flash fiction, prose poetry).
Send up to 5 poems of no more than 10 pages in total. Attach only ONE Word file, with each poem beginning on a new page. Long poems and translations are considered.
Send no more than 1 prose piece no longer than 3000 words. Please double-space and page number your document. We are looking for engaging, well-crafted fiction. We accept both traditional and non-traditional stories. We do not accept novel excerpts unless they can be read as a standalone story.
Attach a single digital file at low-resolution for review purposes only. We will contact you if we require a higher quality image. You can submit multiple images via a single PDF file. In your cover letter, please include the title of your piece(s), materials used, dimensions, and year.
Simultaneous submissions are encouraged, but please inform us as soon as your work has been accepted elsewhere. We do not publish reprints. Previous contributors are asked to wait one year (i.e. skip one issue) before submitting again. We do our best to keep our response time under two months. Payment is in contributor copy. All rights revert to the author and artist upon publication. Direct all inquiries to versal@wordsinhere.com. This is not the submission address.
