Submission Guidelines
How to Submit Your Work
We are accepting submissions at fluffnstuffmag@gmail.com in .pdf or .doc formats. Please label the subject line of your email with the word “Submission” and the category of work. In the body of the email, please specify if the work is fiction, personal essay, review, or nonfiction. Categories accepted and more details outlined below.
Images can be submitted in a .png .gif or .jgp files.
Audio submissions can be submitted in .mp3 format.
We do accept works in progress. Please add the label “WIP” to your subject line, and specify what aspects of the piece you desire feedback on in the body of the email.
Timing
Currently we are accepting submissions at any time, year-round.
Simultaneous Submissions
We accept simultaneous submissions, as our team is small and it is unreasonable to hold your work hostage. If your piece is picked up after submission but before publication by another magazine that does not allow simultaneous publications, please email fluffnstuffmag@gmail.com with the subject line “Submission Retraction” and include the title of your piece.
Response Time
Our current response time is difficult to determine. As this will be our first issue, there will be some troubleshooting and shifting availability. Once our first issue is out, we will be able to determine and stick to a schedule. Thank you for your patience <3
Submission Fees and Payment
We are not charging any sort of fees, and unfortunately cannot pay writers at this time.
