Submission Guidelines

Between October 1 and December 31, 2024, we will be considering submissions for the second issue of Gully, which will be published in mid-2025. We will not consider submissions sent outside of these dates.

We do not charge for submissions.

We pay US$15 for poems, Gullets (flash fiction of less than 1,000 words), and art, and US$30 for longer fiction (1,000 words and over). In exchange, we expect to receive first serial rights for our print and online editions and a six-month exclusive from the date of publication, after which the author is free to resell the work with an acknowledgement (e.g. “First published in Gully Magazine”). Authors retain copyright of their work.

For poetry, send no more than five poems at a time. For photography, art, and ephemera, no more than eight pieces. For prose, we will consider works of short fiction for our Gullets section and works of 1,000 words and up for our main fiction section. There is no word limit, but please use your judgment. Fiction must be submitted as a complete draft.

For visual work, please send high-quality scans (300 dpi) in a .png, .jpg or .pdf format.

For written work, Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) or .pdf files; text should be double-spaced, 12 point font size, Times New Roman or Arial. Files should be labeled “title_firstname_lastname”.

Please note: we are no longer accepting non-fiction pitches or drafts.

We do not accept previously published work. Simultaneous submissions are fine, but please inform us as soon as your work is accepted elsewhere. Please only submit once per submission cycle; if your work is not accepted, kindly wait until the next cycle if you’d like to send new work.
