full submission guidelines
please read these carefully
general ground rules
✶ LABYRINTHINE is a publication of weird, wild work. We specifically seek pieces in the realm of GOTHIC, NEW WEIRD, and EXPERIMENTAL. Nothing is too bizarre for us; the stranger, the better!
✶ While our magazine is based in Ireland, we accept submissions worldwide.
✶ Though our chosen genres often involve grotesque and unorthodox themes, we do not publish gratuitous depictions of violence, self-harm, sexual assault, or other triggering subject matter.
✶ Pieces promoting bigotry and discrimination will not be published, nor tolerated.
✶ We do not accept AI-generated content of any kind.
✶ We cannot pay our contributors at this time, but submission will always be free.
submission rules
✶ You may submit one submission form per publication cycle.
✶ While simultaneous submissions are allowed, let us know via email if your work is accepted elsewhere.
✶ We do not accept previously published work (excluding personally, i.e. self-publication, Substack blog, portfolio entries).
✶ Submission close at 11:59 p.m. GMT on the cycle's closing date.
✶ Decision emails will be sent one month after the closing date, though some may arrive sooner.
✶ If your work was accepted last cycle, please wait to submit again unless you are submitting a different category (i.e. if your poetry was published last cycle, you may submit prose, artwork, and/or hybrid instead this cycle).
please note
✶ All submissions must be 12pt, in Times New Roman (or any readable font), and centre the title.
✶ Do not include your name in the submission file. Anonymity ensures submissions are given equal opportunity.
poetry
✶ Submit up to 4 pieces in .doc, .docx, or .pdf format.
✶ We understand that form, spacing, and font are central to experimental poetry, so we've less restrictions on that end. However, we ask that your individual poems do not exceed 3 pages.
prose (flash fiction, short fiction, CNF, etc.)
✶ Submit 1 piece of up to 3,000 words in .doc, .docx, or .pdf format.
✶ Please specify the category you're submitting within.
✶ Must be double-spaced and left-justified.
✶ Must provide the word count in the top right corner (i.e. Word Count: ###)
