Call for Submissions: takahe magazine

Founded in 1989, takahē magazine publishes short stories, poetry and art, as well as essays, interviews, and book reviews in related areas. Many of Aotearoa New Zealand’s brightest literary talents made their first public appearance within our pages, and we remain committed to publishing the best work from emerging talents alongside that of established writers and artists.
takahē is published three times per year, in print in April and December, and online in August. The first online issue was published on 10 August 2016.

General Guidelines

  • Submissions may be made at any time and will be considered for the next issue. Email is the preferred mode of submission in all genres, and will be acknowledged on receipt.
  • We do not consider previously published work (including online – blogs, websites, ezines), or, with the exception of short stories, simultaneous submissions.
  • Our usual response time is no longer than four months, and contributors should not submit further work until advised of the fate of earlier submissions.
  • Please send as a Word attachment (doc or docx) to the relevant editor: art, essays, fiction, poetry or reviews. If submissions are being made in more than one genre, send each separately.
  • Files should contain a cover-page which includes the date, your name, email address, postal address, and the title/s of the work. Your name should appear on every page of the submission.
  • If you do not have access to email, please include a covering letter with above information, and a stamped self-addressd envelope for reply. (Submissions without either an email address or SSAE will be destroyed unread.) Put your name, the title of the work and the page number on each page, and post to: 
takahē
PO Box 13 335
Christchurch 8141, New Zealand

Overseas Submissions will only be accepted by email, as New Zealand Post no longer accepts IRCs (International Reply Coupons). Foreign stamps and/or cash are not acceptable alternatives.

Quote your name, the title/s of your submission, and the date it was sent with any subsequent enquiry.
