Our submissions are currently closed. Keep an eye on our Instagram page and website for updates.

​What can I submit?

  • Any type of creative writing including, but not limited to, poetry, short stories, flash fiction, creative nonfiction, personal essay, excerpts from novels/longer projects, and plays! We also accept foreign language submissions with an English translation.

  • Please upload them in the correct form linked above.

​

​Submission guidelines:

  • You may submit up to 3 pieces per issue, and each submission should be 3,000 words or shorter. (3 is the maximum number of submissions across categories. For example, you may submit 2 poems and 1 prose piece, but not 3 pieces in both categories). 

  • Title your file: 'Author Name' - 'Piece Title.'

  • All submissions must be double-spaced in Times New Roman size 12 font unless you are making a stylistic choice.

  • If you are submitting more than one piece, please put each submission on a separate document.

  • Foreign language poems must be accompanied by an English translation (please mention the translator's name on the document if it is not yourself.)​

​

Personal bio:

We highly suggest writing a short third-person bio alongside your submission in the form. It must be 200 characters or shorter.

​

You reserve the rights to your own work!

The work you submit will remain 100% YOURS. We do not claim rights to any part of your submissions. That said, please do not submit previously published work to our magazine.

​

If you are published by us and want to re-submit that piece to another magazine, you must make sure they accept previously published work and mention Iceblink Lit as the original publisher.

​

All submitted pieces must be your original work.

We will not accept any piece that perpetuates/promotes bigotry.
