Welcome to Word Catalyst Magazine

"And by the way,
everything in life is writable about
if you have the outgoing guts to do it,
and the imagination to improvise.
The worst enemy to creativity is self doubt."
-Sylvia Plath

Word Catalyst is a monthly publication
published the first week of each month.

We offer a wide variety of writing styles
combined with other forms of creative expression.

Submission Guidelines

It is your responsibility to proofread your material and make sure it meets the following guidelines before submitting it. Although we've been known to correct the occasional and obvious typo, we do not offer proofreading services.

Please include a brief bio written in the third person with each submission if you wish it to be included with your work. We do not have the resources to keep them on file.

Also, include the email address where you prefer to receive feedback from readers if it is different from the one you're submitting from.

Please check your spelling and grammar before submitting and read your work. Spell check does not care if you use the wrong word as long as you spell it right!

Please include the category you are submitting to in your subject line with all submissions.

Categories:

Poetry
Fiction
Non-Fiction
Photography
Art (send URL only)

Prose and Poetry:

We are currently accepting only flash fiction and short short stories under 1,000 words for the prose section.

Submissions may be attached as a Word doc. or rtf file or included in the body of your email.

Do not use all caps or underlines in titles. All caps should be used only for emphasis.

Do not indent paragraphs. All text should be justified left with a space between paragraphs.

Please consider the fact that we have writers and readers of all ages and if you use language that we feel is inappropriate to a literary magazine it will be edited out or will not be published.

We are not interested in any form of erotica.

Art:

Please do not send unsolicited art through the email. If you would like to be considered for the Art Gallery page, send a link to your site to editor@wordcatalystmagazine.com and we will check it out. If we are interested in featuring your art we will contact you.

Photos:

Photos should be sent as Jpg files, 72 dpi with a maximum width of 500 pixels. Send up to three photos per month to photoeditor@wordcatalystmagazine.com

If you are in doubt as to whether your material is suitable for Word Catalyst please take the time to read previous submissions. 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
