Calls for Submissions
We welcome the above, but please don’t see this as a limiting list, rather a starting list of suggestions. If you’re not sure, send us a query.
We ask for exclusive rights to published pieces for a period of two weeks. After that, republishing with attribution is welcome.
Entropy is completely volunteer-run and unable to pay for publication at this time.
Submission Guidelines:
- Please make sure to send your submission to the relevant editor (see the list below).
- Please only send to ONE editor, section, or series at a time.
- Include the word “submission” in the subject of your email.
- Include a very brief bio and author photo to help speed up the process.
- Please send your submission as a DOC or DOCX file. If formatting is important, please also include a PDF.
- If you have relevant images to accompany your piece, please send those as well. (All pieces accepted for publication will be accompanied by a featured image, so if you have a particular image, let us know.)
- Also let us know if you have published with us before, especially if submitting to a different section, series, or editor.
- Please note if your submission is a simultaneous submission and let us know if it is accepted elsewhere.
- Please send complete & finished submissions. We no longer take pitches.
- Allow 4-6 weeks for a response. We usually respond before that, but please don’t assume that you’ll always hear from us right away.
