Submissions

Please have a look at previous issues and our About section, to get a clear idea of what we’re looking for. Unfortunately, due to the number of submissions we receive, I may either fail to respond, or respond to you but tersely. Forgive me. On the other hand, if I read a poem that I want to publish, please trust that I absolutely will contact you.

Submit poetry, essays, and short stories to detroitlitmag@gmail.com.  Currently we’re taking submissions for the Winter issue.

Please include your name and a short author’s bio, and attach your work as a .doc or .docx attachment. Submit 1-5 poems in a single file or one fiction or non-fiction piece of 1500 words or less. If anything is uncertain, just go for it; we are understanding, and will have a look either way.
