Cover letter
Don't overthink it too much! When we ask for a cover letter, we're just trying to get to know the person behind the words we've read. Also, we read cover letters only after we've read through the submission. So it doesn't affect our consideration of your work. Don't forget to include a short third-person bio!
Eligibility
We accept submissions from writers of all ages, ethnicities and identities but highly prioritize and encourage submissions from writers who identify as women, POC and young writers.Formatting
All written work must be 12 pt, Times New Roman. Poems must be single spaced.
Author's rights
All rights belongs to the concerned contributor. We request for publication rights to print your work digitally and to promote it on social media
Additional info
Unfortunately, we are currently unable to pay our contributors but hope to change that soon. Instead, we provide accepted contributors with permanent free passes to all our virtual events. Poets who attend our virtual workshops (for free) will have the option to avail free feedback on their submissions. Zhagaram is run by a single editor and we hope to diversify our team as we keep growing. However, as of now, this means that our knowledge and understanding of the world and its cultures is very limited. This might lead to discrepancies in publishing and if any piece of work published by Zhagaram is ever found to have expressed problematic ideas and views, we kindly reserve the right to take it down.
