Rights for published work
If a submission is accepted for publication we acquire First North American Serial Rights, First Electronic Rights, and Electronic Archival Rights, unless otherwise agreed to, this means your work must not have been previously published in a journal, magazine, book, or serial publication, including those on the web and social media. When we accept your work, we have the right to publish it first. Once we do, the reprint rights return to you, meaning you can publish the work elsewhere in print or online as long as you acknowledge Lammergeier as the place it first appeared. Lammergeier also acquires reprint rights, allowing us to reprint the work in our promotional material, as well as in future anthologies, etc.
Additional info
Please wait one month after hearing back from us before submitting again unless we asked to see more of your work. If you have been published with us, please wait at least a year from your publication date to submit again. We offer expedited responses during our open reading periods in exchange for donations to these groups: RAICES, a non-profit organization that provides free and low-cost legal services to underserved immigrant children, families, and refugees; the Navajo Water Project, an Indigenous-led non-profit that brings running water to homes in the Navajo homes; the First Alaskans Institute, a non-profit dedicated to uplifting Alaska Natives and their communities through various public policy, community engagement and leadership projects; and finally, any bail fund or mutual aid organization working to provide community assistance in place of policing.
About the Magazine
Founded in 2019 | United States
Lammergeier is a publication that strives to live the principles of inclusion, equity, and diversity that we would like to see in the literary world. We welcome submissions from everyone, and we especially encourage submissions from authors who identify identify as POC/Indigenous, LGBTQIA+, disabled, neurodivergent, or any other marginalized identity. We are here for work that confounds taxonomy and welcome experimentation with form and genre. We are also open to speculative elements in work so long as they are done with artistic intent. While we seek work that deals with the dirt and grit of real life, we do not accept any work that promotes bigotry and harm against marginalized groups, nor indulges in the spectacle of over-the-top sexual, physical, or emotional violence to people or animals. We do encourage writing that engages with trauma in a thoughtful, sensitive manner but ask that you provide trigger warnings for these subjects before the piece.
