Call for Submissions: Persephone Literary Magazine

THE MEDUSA ISSUE (SPRING 2026) 

DEADLINE: March 09, 2026 

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Your work should be formatted as follows:

Writing: Single document with work and author biography attached. Please no PDFs!

Photography: Upload your images with a title and short description of your photography narrative.

Poetry submissions are limited to a maximum of five per quarter.

Fiction and non-fiction stories should range from a minimum of 500 words to a maximum of 2500 words. Each submitter may send no more than two stories per quarter.

Photography narratives may include a maximum of 10 photos per quarter.

Work that has been previously published will not be accepted. However, this exclusion does not apply to your own personal social media pages.

We welcome submissions across multiple categories, acknowledging and honoring your enthusiasm for exploring diverse mediums.

Submissions may be submitted year-round, though publication will occur quarterly.

The cost of a submission is $5. This small price goes toward production costs, as well as the growth of the magazine.

We currently operate on a contributing basis.

We do accept simultaneous submissions. We simply ask you let us know if your work is selected by another publication.

You will retain the rights to your work. We simply request that should you decide to republish a piece in the future, you include a sentence indicating its prior publication in Persephone Literary Magazine. For example: "Originally featured in the ___ edition of Persephone Literary Magazine."

If you have any questions or issues with the submission form, please feel free to email:

Thank you!
