Up to 5 poems may be submitted per season. Prose should be roughly between 2,000 and 5,000 words.
All published work will be featured in the seasonal issue of Midnight Circus and on the EAB Publishing pages. The author agrees that their work is original and properly cited. EAB Publishing does not currently pay royalties for publication in Midnight Circus nor do we provide a print copy of the issue upon publication. The author retains the rights to their work, but agrees not to publish the work in another publication until one year after the issue is released.
Submission Guidelines
The use of mixed media and formatting can be used to enhance a story, and we are all for it. Clever uses of space in poetry, art to support a short story, these are all great and welcome in submissions, but not required. To maintain a low price print version of our literary magazine, all material must be in B&W.
Gratuitous Violence and Explicitly Sexual Content. These all have their place, it just isn’t here. If your work falls into the category of Horrorcore, Grindhouse, Erotica, or similar, please do not submit to Midnight Circus.
Fan Fiction. Gotta love it! But we can’t publish it. Exceptions being work within the public domain.
Send submissions as a .docx or .docs files. This makes formatting and editing easy for all involved.
