SUBMIT
Thank you so much for considering Eucalyptus Lit as a home for your words!
We're open year-round, and accept submissions of poetry, prose, artwork, and guest essays. No work created utilizing artificial intelligence aids will be considered for submission.
Simultaneous submissions are welcome, but please indicate this in your email, as well as let us know immediately if your work is accepted somewhere else. We reserve First North American Electronic Rights, and all rights revert to the author upon publication, although we ask that you credit Eucalyptus Lit as the first publisher of your work. We will nominate for the Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net.
We will get back to you in under three to four weeks. However, our editors are all busy students juggling schoolwork and our own artistic careers—if we have not made a decision after four weeks have passed, do query and let us know!
Unfortunately, Eucalyptus Lit is currently not a paying market. However, we'll shout out all our contributors on our social media, as well as try to promote their work any way we can.
Please note that we have zero tolerance for hateful or discriminatory language. Submissions that have been deemed to contain such views will be rejected without further consideration, and we reserve the right to ban future submissions.
Submission Guidelines

We offer expedited consideration of your work for $5, with a response given within the next business day. Additionally, our staff will provide in-depth feedback on a submission of poetry or prose for $12 within a period of 1-2 weeks. Standard submission guidelines, including word and page limits, apply for feedback requests.
