Submissions
Thank you for your interest in submitting to INQUEERY! Please read the submission guidelines before continuing.
CURRENTLY CLOSED UNTIL NOVEMBER 18TH
Our submissions team reads blind, so please remove any and all identifying information (like your name) from the document you're submitting. We want to keep things fair for y'all!
We accept:
- Fiction - 3,500 words or less
- Flash Fiction - 800 words or less
- Poetry - 4 poems max (please put all poems on one document)
- Creative Nonfiction - 3,500 words or less
- Visual art including paintings, photography, sculptures, textile art, etc. (up to 4 pieces).
You can submit to more than one category, however, please fill out a new form for each category submission.
Simultaneous submissions are welcome, but please notify us immediately if your piece has been accepted elsewhere. There is no fee to submit.
There is a section to include a third person bio. Feel free to add any identity markers that connect you back to the queer community.
We only accept unpublished work. INQUEERY MAGAZINE retains first publication rights, and upon publication, rights revert back to the author. Please credit INQUEERY MAGAZINE as the first publisher if the piece appears elsewhere after publication such as other journals, books, etc.
There is no fee to apply! Currently, we don't have the option to pay our contributors, but a free copy of the annual anthology will be given to all who are accepted into the final print edition. If you'd like to submit a donation, you can do so here.
We're a small team. We will do our best to get back to you in a timely manner, but please give us 5-6 weeks to respond <3
