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.
