When can I submit to Hippocampus Magazine?
We have two regular submission periods per year; please note the change in dates for our fall 2022 reading period; we’ve pushed back our start date in order to reorganize our reading teams and get caught up.
We’ll still be open for three months, extending into January of 2023. March 1 through May 31
October 15 through January 15.
Additionally, our 2022 submission-fee free period is the last 10 days of December: the 21st through 31st.
What are we looking for in submissions?
True tales from your life. Honesty that possesses both the situation AND the story. Intensely personal experiences that reflect universal truths about what it means to be human. Firsthand accounts from the full spectrum of humanity – folx from the LGBTQIA+ community, Black writers, Indigenous writers, and writers of Color, disabled writers, writers of all genders, backgrounds, experiences, lifestyles, and identities.
We offer a $40 honorarium to authors who publish Memoir Excerpts, Personal Essays, and Flash Nonfiction with us. Honoraria are paid via PayPal within about 90 days of publication.
Writers who contribute to our Book Reviews, Interviews, Craft Column, and Writing Life Column are considered volunteer contributors and are not currently compensated.
