Submissions must be sent as an email attachment in MS Word, RTF, or Google Doc form, including the following information at the top of the document: title, author name/alias, email, date of submission, word count, a summary sentence, notice specifying whether the piece was published elsewhere (and if so, when and where), and any warnings/notes. 

Single-part article and story submissions should not exceed 8,000 words nor be under 1,000 words. If a longer submission is accepted, it will be broken into installments. Poetry submissions should be between 10 and 40 lines. If a submission is intended for one of our themed issues, please keep it between 3000-3,500 words and remember to name the issue it is intended for on the document. Once material is accepted, Fellowship & Fairydust will edit the submissions to fit its house style guide.

Please note that by sending us your submission, you are acknowledging your acceptance of our submission rules, and are granting Fellowship & Fairydust non-exclusive rights to publish your work on our publication’s website, print issues, and YouTube channel.

What are non-exclusive electronic rights?

Non-exclusive means that we are open to publishing work which has been previously published elsewhere. We accept such works at our own discretion, but we believe that a good story will never be lessened by how many times it is told. When you publish with us, you retain all copyright to your work and are free to reprint it elsewhere. If Fellowship & Fairydust is the first publisher, we request that a note crediting us appear in your republished piece.

We will not share or distribute your work to any third parties, and, as the author of the piece, you will be fully credited as the owner/creator of the work wherever it appears. What this also means is that, as our Fellowship & Fairydust publication channels exist in perpetuity, a copy of your work will remain in our archive after publication.  Please also note that all rights for this magazine and all of its relevant platforms of publication are held by Fellowship & Fairydust.

Once published, no material submitted to Fellowship & Fairydust may be altered or removed unless an exception is made, which is at the discretion of the current editorial board. In this regard, we are no different from any traditional print publication and the vast majority of online publications. We reserve the right to republish content that has been accepted, but the author/creator of the piece will be fully credited wherever their work appears.
