Submissions

Literary Journal

Update: Unfortunately, the time has come for Likely Red Magazine to sign off, for now. We have simply just moved onto other projects. This website will remain online, but we will not be publishing new content until a time comes that we can focus on the magazine

Likely Red is currently closed for submissions in prose and poetry for our online lit mag. We try to push the right buttons to nominate work for various literary awards, including The Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net Anthology. We like prose up to 4000 words and poetry up to 100 lines.

Guidelines

The short version for all submissions is that submissions must be previously unpublished. We accept simultaneous submissions, but withdraw your submission if your work is accepted elsewhere. We require First North American Rights and archival rights for us to keep a copy of your work in our online archives. We also reserve the right to include your work in a future anthology. All other rights revert back to author upon publication.

We reserve the right to remove content from our website and press if any contributors demonstrate a public profile that goes against Likely Red Press’s commitment to equality, diversity, social justice, and safe spaces for writers of all backgrounds.

All submissions can be sent to likelyredsubmissions@gmail.com.

Please submit prose (fiction or creative nonfiction) of no more than 4,000 words, and poetry of no more than 100 lines. Please submit directly in the body of the email. No attachments, please.

Response Times

Give us 2 weeks, though we’re working hard to keep them even sooner. We encourage you to report our submission times to places like The Grinder and Duotrope.
