Submission guidelines

Gully is open to submissions year-round, and charges no submission fee.

We are currently soliciting work for our inaugural issue, which will be published in mid-2024. The deadline to submit to Issue #1 is March 1, 2024. We are an annual magazine, and will reopen for Issue #2 submissions on October 1.

We will not consider submissions sent between March 1 and October 1.

We pay US$15 for poems and Gullets (flash fiction and non-fiction of less than 1,000 words) and US$30 for features and longer fiction (1,000 words and over). In exchange, we expect to receive first serial rights for our print and online editions and a six-month exclusive from the date of publication, after which the author is free to resell the work with an acknowledgement (e.g. “First published in Gully Magazine”). Authors retain copyright of their work.

For poetry, send no more than five poems at a time. For photography, art, and ephemera, no more than eight pieces. For prose, we will consider works of short fiction and short non-fiction for our Gullets section and works of 1,000 words and up for our features section. There is no word limit, but please use your judgment. Fiction must be submitted as a complete draft; for non-fiction, we prefer pitches.

For visual work, please send high-quality scans (300 dpi) in a .png, .jpg or .pdf format. For written work, Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) or .pdf files; text should be double-spaced, 12 point font size, Times New Roman or Arial. Files should be labeled “title_firstname_lastname”.

We do not accept previously published work. Simultaneous submissions are fine, but please inform us as soon as your work is accepted elsewhere.
