SUBMISSIONS

At Gavialidae, we take unsolicited submissions of unpublished fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction all year round through Duosuma.

Please introduce yourself with a brief biographical note and limit your submission to a maximum of 1 short story or essay, 4 flash fictions, or 10 poems. No unsolicited submission may be longer than 7500 words. Simultaneous submissions are welcome, but do inform us if a piece has been submitted elsewhere.

We aim to read and respond to all submissions within 4 months of receipt. Pieces received between 1 January and 31 July are more likely to be considered for the current issue than those received afterward.

Regarding work accepted for publication, we pay $150 per poem or flash fiction piece and $500 per short story or essay.

For miscellaneous queries, reach out to contact@gavialidae.com; please understand that we cannot respond to every email. Submissions sent to this address will not be read.

Isabelle Puckette & Stewart Love, the editors
