Rights for published work
Eclectica acquires First World Electronic (Online/Internet) Rights: a one time, non-exclusive use of Electronic Rights, with all rights reverting to the author upon publication with two exceptions: we also ask our authors to grant Eclectica Anthology Rights, and it's important to note that work appearing in Eclectica is permanently available online in our archives for public reference. We expect authors to follow proper publishing protocol. With the exception of collections and anthologies, a given piece should not appear in more than one electronic publication, just as it should not appear in more than one print publication. If an author does choose to re-publish work elsewhere, in print or on the web, Eclectica should be credited as the original publisher.

About the Magazine
Founded in 1996 | United States
Eclectica was founded in October 1996 with the goal of providing a sterling quality literary magazine on the World Wide Web. At the time we struggled to find the net equivalent (in terms of content) of Harper's, New Yorker, Granta, The Atlantic, and other publications providing quality material for the appetites of a wide variety of demanding readers. Although some of these magazines even had their own web-sites, they were conceived as companions to the print items rather than sites intended to stand completely on their own. Thus Eclectica was born. The vision we shared was of a magazine not bound by formula or genre, harnessing technology to further the reading experience rather than for the sake of flashy gimmickry, dynamic and interesting enough content-wise to keep readers coming back for more.
