We accept simultaneous submissions and previously published work, so long as we are informed of this when the piece is submitted.

We do not accept pieces with graphic violence, discrimination, sexual assault, or erotica. We also will not accept fanfiction, scripts, or academic essays. We do not accept artwork or photography that includes nudity.
- We have a "Once Warned, Twice Banned" policy in place. Submitters with content that violates our guidelines will be warned once and banned the second time.
If you submit an untitled photo, and do not title it upon acceptance, we will title it for you.

Failure to adhere to submission guidelines, along with late submissions, will result in an automatic rejection.

Submitting Your Work:

Please submit your work via email at maniamagazine.ue@gmail.com. The subject line should have the title of your piece and its genre (poetry, fiction, non-fiction, art, photography).
You may submit up to three pieces of artwork/photography per submission window. You may submit up to two pieces of writing within the same genre. You can submit to multiple genres.
Please submit each piece, even for those within the same genre, in separate Word documents.
If you are submitting to two different genres, please send two separate emails.
Please include a third person bio of up to a 100 words, including name and pronouns, in the body of your email.
Please format Word documents for writing submissions and JPEGs for art and photography submissions. Your work should not be found in the body of the email.
To format your Word document:
- Please title the document with the title of the piece, its genre, and the word count
  - Example: Falling Rain, Fiction, 3030
- Please use a standard font, such as Times New Roman or Garamond
- At the top of the document, please include any possible content warnings
- Please do not include your name anywhere on the document, including its title, as this is an anonymous submission process
If you'd like to make a note of how you found us, preferably in the body of your email, we'd love to know!
As a note, please be mindful of our editors' pronouns. While addressing an editor by name is not required, or can be done simply by using their first name, if you are going to use a title, such as Miss. or Mx., please use the title that would correspond to that editor's pronouns. Thank you!
