First Time Electronic Rights, Copyright Policy

All writers retain their copyright and all of their rights to their work. Literary Magic however reserves the right to publish any writing (articles, stories, poems etc.) submitted to us in Literary Magic (the magazine), on LiteraryMagic.com, in our Archives (on a separate website we operate) or in any publication—print or electronic-- produced by Literary Magic. This includes allowing content we publish to be linked to or shared (via links) on social media websites.

Unfortunately, we do not currently pay for published works at this time. However, we do offer compensation in the form of a free proofreading for every submission we accept (editing, if neccessary, is done prior to a submission's publication) before the work is published o our website. Literary Magic only has first time electronic rights to your work, which means the author retains complete ownership and can submit it anywhere else they like. We accept first-time work as well as previously published work.

We do not place any restriction on the content (writing) but we ask that (it be your original work and that) you conform to the following guidelines.

·        Articles, essays, poems, short stories and all other submissions should not be more than 5,000 words.

·        Queries are preferable, but not required. We welcome unsolicited material.

·        Please refrain from using any vulgar language or language that gives hint to erotica, drugs or other restricted content. All genres are accepted, except erotica. Your submission can be violent and possibly be hinting toward erotica occasionally, but please nothing too graphic or explicit.

·        Check your writing for spelling, grammatical and language errors before submitting it, and please do your best to edit your work. A few mistakes here and there will be accepted, but excessive mistakes will automatically be rejected. (We have no taste for writing that hasn't been edited.)

·        You are welcome to send bylines or short biographies of yourself or previous publishing credentials, however we do not ask that as all writers will be treated equally.

·        Literary Magic is an online magazine so there are no real deadlines for each issue. We are a quarterly magazine (four issues are published a year) so we ask that if you wish to make your submission for the following issue that you please do so at least a month before the issue comes out. If Release Dates for the next issue have not been posted, you can still submit: we accept submissions year-round.

·        Multiple Submissions are allowed. Unpublished work is preferred, but if your writing has already been published in print or online then it will still be accepted.

          Deadline: Deadline for next issue To Be Announced. Thank you. All submissions arriving after that date will not be eligible for immediate publication and will have to wait until the next issue to be published.

Literary Magic welcomes all writers to submit work in any genre or style. However, we have zero tolerance for two things: Plagiarism and writing that hasn't been edited. If either of these is the case with your work, then it will be automatically rejected. If you have any further questions about our Submissions page, or if you would like to query us about submitting your writing, then please contact our Editor, Rocky Reichman, at literarymagic@gmail.com.

Above all: write well, edit your work and be professional. That's a sure path to breaking into Literary Magic magazine.

I look forward to receiving and reviewing your submissions.

          Your literally,

               Rocky Reichman, Editor-in-Chief of Literary Magic
