Submissions Are OPEN
Submissions are always open. Instead of opening and closing submissions, we will be announcing response periods as they open and close. We are currently in the reading period for Issue 4, to be published on March 13. This reading period closes on Feb 14.
- Please only submit original, unpublished works.
- Simultaneous submissions are fine.
- Once a work is published by us, you are free to publish it anywhere else. We ask you to acknowledge that the work was first published with Exist Otherwise, but we do not require this.
- We do not claim any rights to your work beyond the initial publication in EO (online and in PDF). This includes archival rights. All published contributors have the right to withdraw their work from Exist Otherwise at any time, for any reason.
Theme & Prompt
Each issue of Exist Otherwise will have a theme and a prompt. The theme will be a quote from Claude Cahun, and the prompt will be a piece of her art. Submissions that respond to a theme or prompt will be given some priority, but we will consider all submissions.
Payment
We pay $10 per published work.
