Cover letter
This magazine does not list any details on their website for this section.
Eligibility
No specific eligibility requirements
Formatting
Shunn format works, though if it’s a hassle to get your text editor to comply, what’s most important is that your ms. is double spaced, uses simple serif fonts, and has NO IDENTIFYING DETAILS — we read each submission anonymized.
Author's rights
The Fabulist Magazine requests first serial rights for 6 (six) months; non-exclusive electronic archival rights on our website in perpetuity and in quarterly ebook anthologies; and an option on print and audio rights, to be negotiated separately. Authors, poets and artists are otherwise the exclusive owners of their work.
Additional info
Please, only one submission at a time per open call. Only. One.
