Formatting
Writers, we prefer that you submit your work as a Word Document or another similar processing system, rather than as a PDF. Visual Artists may use PDFs to submit multiple works of art, but should be prepared with a high-resolution version of their files upon their work's acceptance to the journal.

Phoebe asks for: 1) First American rights for print publication of the Work in a future issue of Phoebe: A Journal of Literature and Art 2) Indefinite non-exclusive rights for electronic publication of the Work at www.phoebejournal.com, as well as through Phoebe’s social media websites and newsletters 3) Possible inclusion of the Work in a future anthology published by Phoebe Press All other rights remain the author’s. By signing a contract with us, you also affirm: 1) You are the original creator of the work. 2) You maintain the power and authority to grant the aforementioned publishing rights to Phoebe Press. 3) The work has not been previously published elsewhere and does not infringe upon any copyright, trademark, or any other intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights of any third party.
Additional info
We insist on openness, which means we welcome both experimental and conventional prose and poetry, and we insist on being entertained. We produce a print issue in fall/winter and an online issue in spring/summer. Our Spring Contest offers $500 to winners in Poetry, Fiction, and Nonfiction, and $100 to runners-up in all three genres. We welcome multiple submissions, but each should follow the guidelines above.
