ROLLING SUBMISSIONS

Fruitbatz, A Queer Literary Magazine is a queer-led publication, seeking narratives by queer and neurodivergent storytellers. We pride ourselves on creating a safe space for honest, emotional, and experimental works that explore themes of queerness, identity, and social otherness. Speaking to the broad range of readers we wish to cultivate, we accept all forms of Poetry, Prose, and Mixed Media Projects (i.e. Comics, Visual Art, and Photography) not published previously.

​

For poetry, we ask that you only submit up to three poems, totaling no more than five pages. For prose, we ask that you submit a maximum of ten pages of double-spaced Times New Roman. Send a PDF of your submission to editors@fruitbatzmag.com alongside a brief cover letter and biography. These formatting requirements help us to ensure a smooth review process, which means we can get back to you as quickly as possible.

 

There is no deadline or fee for submitting your work for general online publication, nor are there any restrictions on the amount of times you can submit per publication cycle at this time. If you are accepted, we ask you to not publish your work anywhere else until we've officially published it either in one of our future issues or on our website. Our first issue is set to release October 31st, with a submission deadline of October 28th. Once the accepted work is published, all rights return to you as the author of your work.

If you have any questions or concerns, please shoot us an email or send us a direct message on our Instagram, @fruitbatzmag.
