Submissions are now open until midnight 31 May.

Please read through our submission guidelines before submitting.

Submission guidelines

We publish 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 1,000–3,000 words.

All submissions should be previously unpublished.

Submissions should be in one .doc, .docx or PDF 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 ‎‎€600, which we pay prior to publication. Contributors also receive a copy of the issue in which their work is featured, and are invited to read at our launch.

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 three months of the submission closing date.

We strongly advise familiarising yourself with the kind of writing we publish before submitting. We are always open to new ventures.

Submissions must be original work and cannot infringe upon the right or copyright of any person or entity. We do not publish AI-generated work, unless explicitly created for artistic purposes, and clearly framed as such.

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

After you make your submission, you will see a message of confirmation, but you will not receive a confirmation email.
