How to submit

Process

We use Submittable.

Cover letters

Cover letters are optional, but it’s nice to know who is submitting to us. We do not need your mailing address.

Eligibility

No specific eligibility requirements

Formatting

Double-space your submission and use Times New Roman 12 pt font. Word docs work best!

Rights for published work

Uncharted Magazine holds first serial publication rights for three months after publication. Authors agree not to publish, nor authorize or permit the publication of, any part of the material for three months following Uncharted Magazine’s first publication. For reprints, we ask for acknowledgment of its publication in Uncharted Magazine first.

Additional info

While the intended audience of YA is teenagers, almost half of YA readers are adults and Voyage is happy to be at the intersection of both groups. We are not interested in publishing a specific genre of YA, but we are interested in quality work by writers from a variety of backgrounds, especially #ownvoices.
