Rights for published work
By submitting your visual or written work, you confirm that you own the intellectual property rights (such as trademarks and copyright), image rights, and authorial rights necessary rights to publish the work through Rough Cut Press. Once accepted, you grant us permission to publish your submission in our digital & print magazines, website, and social media platforms.

Additional info
We seek experimental work of all genres by writers and allies of the LGBTQIA community. To get a sense of what we publish please read some of our former issues. We don’t know what we like until we see it. Each month we announce a different theme, but don’t worry if the work you submit doesn’t quite fit: we often build issues around work that takes us by surprise. If your work is selected for publication you can expect to hear from us within thirty days of submission.
