The key point of every submission is that it must be written by more than one author, or include a collaboration of two individuals (eg: art and poetry).

It is not necessary that an image be included with your submission, but you may include an image to be featured along with your work. There are many online sites where you may download images for free. Please include a link to the page where the image is found.
Simultaneous submissions okay. Submission grants Collaborature the non-exclusive right to publish and display your work. That’s it.
Previously published work okay. Please indicate date(s) and publication(s) where your piece first appeared. Upon publication with us, please credit Collaborature as having published your work when submitting it elsewhere in the future.

General housekeeping: nothing hateful in nature will be published. This is at the discretion of the editor, and no explicit instruction will be given as to how to avoid writing that is hateful in nature. Let’s make it common sense.
