SUBMISSIONS

GUIDELINES

Submissions are currently open.

We are seeking submissions of poetry, fiction, non-fiction, and visual art for this issue. We prioritize queer and marginalized creators but welcome any and all submissions.

LBRNTH uses Duosuma for submissions. Please read through our specific guidelines below and when you’re ready to submit click the button at the bottom of the page to continue. 

We are committed to highlighting underrepresented/marginalized voices, including creators who are Indigenous, Black, Disabled, and/or 2SLGBTQIA+ (you can add this info at the end of your bio in parentheses if you’re not willing to share that info publicly).

* Please note that if you have been published with us, we ask you to allow one publication to pass before submitting again.

We do accept simultaneous submissions, however, if it is accepted elsewhere you must inform us immediately so your submission may be withdrawn.

Response times vary between 1-3 months.
