Having you join us in our quest to amplify the voices of the rising creatives of the writing community is our true moto. However, to keep-up with our schedules and to ensure smooth functioning of the teams internally, we encourage you to make your submissions on time. We will be unable to accept submissions once the deadlines have passed. You may wait and submit your work for our next publication.

We strongly recommend that you conform to the prescribed submission guidelines. Although, in rare cases, we may be able to accept certain works, where shortening the length of the work will alter its meaning, impact or depiction.

You may withdraw the submission any time before it is selected for publication. Unfortunately, once it has been selected, it will not be possible for you to withdraw your submission, excluding instances when a submission has been published, or has been accepted for publication, elsewhere between the period of submission and shortlisting. You must inform us immediately if work submitted has been accepted for publication elsewhere by emailing us at submissions@publishingissue.com

At this moment we are only launching digital versions of our anthology. However, if you are interested in purchasing print versions of our publication, kindly write to us at info@thepublishingissue.com.

We at The Publishing Issue aim to make the publication easily accessible for all, which is why it is available free of charge.

At this stage we are open to accepting poems, short stories, memoirs, and poetry extracts and extracts from complete works, as long as they make sense on their own. In the future, as we gain more traction and as our team grows, we hope to incorporate complete manuscripts within our purview of publishing.
