Call for Submissions: Granta

We will be open for non-fiction and fiction submissions during the following periods:

19 January until 19 February 2020

26 April until 26 May 2020


We will be open for poetry submissions during the following periods:

20 January until 20 February 2020
We are not currently open for art and photography submissions.

If you are waiting to hear back about a previous submission, please rest assured that we are still reading and you will receive a response as soon as possible.

Submissions can be made from 10 a.m. GMT on the opening day until midnight GMT on the closing day.

Please submit only one complete story or essay at a time. Multiple submissions will not be read. Fiction, non-fiction, poetry and art will be considered for both our print and online editions, unless you specifically state otherwise in your cover letter.

We only publish original material, i.e. first-ever publication. We cannot run a piece that has already appeared on the web or elsewhere in print. We can, however, publish an original translation if the work has previously appeared in another language. We have no set maximum length or minimum length, though most of our submissions are between 3,000-6,000 words.

Please include a cover letter stating where your work has been published before, if relevant. Please do not submit book manuscripts, academic essays or reviews. Please only submit work written in English. Please use double-spacing.

Please note that we are not in a position to comment on your work. We receive a significant number of submissions every day, many of which may be unsuitable for Granta, however well written.

We encourage to all who submit that they read recent issues of Granta to familiarise themselves with material the magazine has published. Subscriptions are available here.


Submit your work here.
