submit
Submission fee is $5. Do not include any identifying information on your submission file. We read submissions blind. What this means is: when you submit, what we see consists only of the title of your work and the files you uploaded. We don't see your bio or cover letter until we have declined or accepted your submission. Any submission with individually identifying information will be rejected.
Submissions are now closed! They will open again, more news on that soon! Other inquires or questions can be directed to [email protected].
We seek to publish the very best new fiction, poetry, creative non-fiction, and artwork by established and emerging writers and artists. All manuscripts are given full consideration. We suggest you familiarize yourself with Temenos before you submit; past editions may be viewed on the Home and Archive pages of this website.
We do not accept emailed submissions or previously published work. Only previously unpublished work will be considered. We do accept simultaneous submissions, but ask that you inform us immediately if your work is accepted elsewhere. Please read the following submission guidelines for each category carefully.
We reserve the right to remove published work from our journal if an author/artist is known to be abusive.
We ask that all submissions be in a 12 point, Times New Roman font.
