All submissions should be sent via email to bacchanalialitmag@gmail.com.

There are 5 important things to provide in your submission: The name you’d like to be published with, titles of any work you include, the genres of each work (Ex: poetry, essay, photography, collage), a brief third-person contributor bio (You can see our Masthead page for examples), and finally the pieces you’re submitting!

Written work should be attached as a docx or pdf file. Please use 12pt font and Times New Roman or Garamond for our editors to best access your work! Written work should only come with visual attachments if your work relies on it. Visual art should be attached as a jpg, jpeg, or png photo.

We accept all written and visual art except for video and audio pieces.

You may submit up to 4 short-form written works (poetry, flash fiction), 3 visual art pieces, and 1 long-form written work (essay, short story).

Short-form written work, including poems and flash fiction, may be up to 3 pages long. Long-form written work may not exceed 2,500 words.

Yes! We want all your work to find a home, so feel free to submit your work to other places as well. Since we only accept unpublished work, please let us know if your work has been accepted elsewhere so we can disregard it for Bacchanalia.

Bacchanalia Literary & Art Magazine retains First Serial Rights for submissions accepted and published on an issue, meaning we are the first to publish your work, but you are free to publish it elsewhere afterward. We appreciate and recommend that you acknowledge our magazine as initial publishers if you repost your work elsewhere. We also reserve non-exclusive archival rights, which means we can keep your work published for an indefinite period.

☆ We reject and frown upon any work that is created using AI.

☆ We do not accept any work that features or promotes racism, sexism, ablism, or any other form of discrimination.

☆ Your work will be reviewed and edited by our team for spelling, grammar, and minor formatting changes.
