GUIDELINES

The Southern Literary Messenger publishes articles on subjects as diverse as the branches of science and the humanities, as well as poetry and fiction.

Articles may be as long as 10,000 words; the lengthier pieces may be serialized. There is no minimum.

All work should be submitted as a .doc, .rtf or .txt attachment. Do not send work in the body of an email. Distinguish paragraphs by putting spaces between them; do not indent. Indicate italics with underscores: _Like this_.

We ask for first electronic and reprint rights (the latter in the event of paperbound compilation of volumes), and exclusive online use of the material for three months.

The SLM is a non-paying market.

Submissions should be sent here.
