Submission Guidelines
How To Submit
Submissions are only accepted via e-mail. Send your submissions to lightafirejournal@gmail.com.
E-mails should be formatted as follows:
The Subject Line - The subject should be the title of your work and the type of work. Example: The Awesome Dinosaur-Robot Adventure - Creative Fiction.
The Body - Your work should be pasted into the body of the e-mail. Do not send attachments as they will automatically be deleted. Do not use any crazy formatting such as different colors or fonts. Please also include the following information in this order:
[The Title]
[Author Name]
[URL]
Length
Most submissions should be a maximum of 5,000 words. This is usually the magic number for online lit as it is long enough to be interesting but short enough to keep the reader’s attention. The only exceptions are poetry submissions. At this time, longer fiction will be “novella-length” and will be published in parts during each issue. We also accept literary and film reviews.
Other Things of Note
- If, for some reason, your submission is not accepted and you would like to re-submit, please go right ahead. In most cases, we will let you know if we would like to hold onto a work for a later issue.
- If we don’t accept your submission, we’ll tell you why (if you want us to). Don’t be afraid, we’re nice, promise.
- Do not bombard us with e-mails regarding the status of your submission. We promise to get back to you one way or another.
- You are allowed to submit more than one piece.
Payment
Sorry, but we are unable to pay you at this time. We’re broke. If it were possible to pay you, trust us, we would. We make no money from this site and if we ever change our minds and decide to monetize this, we’ll definitely pass the fortune (haha) on.
