Submission Guidelines

We do not charge for submissions to Word Catalyst. Therefore, it is your responsibility to proofread your material and make sure it meets the following guidelines before submitting it.

  1. Please check your spelling and grammar before submitting.
  2. Submissions may be attached or included in the body of your email. If you include it in the body please do not put in hard returns as they all have to be removed manually and may be returned to you for that reason.
    Do not use all caps or underlines in titles. All caps should be used only for emphasis.
  3. Do not indent paragraphs. All text should be justified left with a space between paragraphs.
  4. Please consider the fact that we have writers and readers of all ages and if you use language that is vulgar or inappropriate to a literary magazine it will be edited out or rejected. We are also not interested in erotica.
  5. Your work will be edited for typographical errors and offensive language only. We will not change your writing style or correct your grammatical errors. This is your responsibility.
  6. Please put the category you are submitting to in your subject line with all submissions.
  7. If you are in doubt as to whether your material is suitable for Word Catalyst please take the time to read previous submissions.
  8. We have not currently set a word or line limit. Please try to remember that we are a magazine and not publishers of novels or novellas. I am, however, more interested in content than length as long as it is within the limits of short story length.
  9. To submit photos please keep them approximately 600 pixels (width) and no longer than 900 pixels. And the file size should be less than 200k. Submission size for all pictures in one email should be less than 1Meg - please send multiple emails if your total exceeds the 1Meg size.

The best source of what we accept is our archives. Please take the time to look through them and take note of our style as well as what we have accepted in the past.

 

Thank you,
Shirley Allard, Publisher
