​

​Submission guidelines:

• You may submit up to 3 pieces per issue, and each submission should be 3,000 words or shorter. (3 is the maximum number of submissions across categories. For example, you may submit 2 poems and 1 prose piece, but not 3 pieces in both categories).

Personal bio:

We highly suggest writing a short third-person bio alongside your submission in the form. It must be 200 characters or shorter.

You reserve the rights to your own work!

The work you submit will remain 100% YOURS. We do not claim rights to any part of your submissions. That said, please do not submit previously published work to our magazine.

​

If you are published by us and want to re-submit that piece to another magazine, you must make sure they accept previously published work and mention Iceblink Lit as the original publisher.

​

All submitted pieces must be your original work.

We will not accept any piece that perpetuates/promotes bigotry.
