AGNI

AGNI welcomes manuscripts between September 1st and May 31st. Submissions mailed in June, July, or August will be returned unread, provided sufficient return postage is included. Nearly everything we publish is unsolicited. We encourage submissions from writers of all identities, living anywhere, published and unpublished. We will not consider writing that has already been published in English, whether in a book, magazine, newspaper, or on an app, a website, a social media feed, or a publicly accessible online community. We consider only work written in English or translated into English. We have no word limits, though space is at a premium and length sometimes affects our decisions. We do not publish genre romance, horror, mystery, or science fiction; however, we are open to writing that borrows elements from any of these. We will consider excerpts if they read as if they were meant to stand alone. We are interested in prose poems, formal poems, blank verse, free verse. Please send only up to five poems, and please wait for our reply before sending more. As soon as we respond, you can feel free to submit again during a reading period. Please use page numbers and, if you are submitting prose, double-space your document. If you submit on paper and want us to reply by mail, please enclose a stamped, addressed envelope (SAE). If the envelope is large enough and you include sufficient postage, we will return the manuscript; otherwise, it will be recycled. If you’d like to be notified by email only, please include your email address and skip the SAE. Do not email your work; we do not read or consider emailed submissions. Feel free to submit the same work to other magazines simultaneously. If your entire submission is accepted elsewhere, please log in to your online account and withdraw using the link there—or, if you’ve submitted by mail, or if only a portion of your submission has been taken elsewhere, please contact us with a quick withdrawal note. Do not mail your work to us in the months of June, July, or August. The online portal is also closed during those months. Do not send us your only copy; we cannot accept responsibility for your manuscript. Please do not contact us about your submission until four months have passed. After four months, please contact us right away if you have not received a reply. WHERE to send: If you’d rather not submit through our free online portal, please address your envelope to the Fiction Editor, Poetry Editor, or Nonfiction Editor and mail to: AGNI Magazine Boston University 236 Bay State Road Boston, MA 02215.
