Saraba Magazine
We’re accepting submissions all day long. Though we have limited hands, we’ve worked out a system where we can manage the submissions we receive. Please note the following carefully. As a result of shortage in personnel, we have decided to be as strict as possible. The following can be found on http://www.facebook.com/l/159c8;www.sarabamag.com/submissions.html:

Interested contributors are required to submit their works. Fiction writers are to submit stories not exceeding 5,000 words. Poets are to submit not more than three poems. The e-zine also welcomes submissions of reviews of books and published short stories. This should not exceed 1,500 words. The last category open for submission is creative non-fiction. In this genre we expect works that reflect creativity but are not stories. The word count for this is 1,500. Please include word count on the body of your submission.

Each issue the magazine would work on a theme. All entries (except reviews) should reflect the theme whether overtly or covertly.We are not bothered if the work submitted has been published elsewhere as long as the author still retains the right to publish it. If, however, Saraba is the first site that publishes the work, we expect to be credited when it is accepted elsewhere.Please submit alongside a bio not exceeding 50 words.

All works should be submitted in as an attachment (as a .doc file) and the relevant genre indicated in the subject line i.e. ‘Fiction Submission’ or ‘Poetry Submission.’ Entries should be sent to submissions@http://www.facebook.com/l/159c8;sarabamag.com. Please copy to sarabamag@gmail.com.

The deadlines for forthcoming issues are stated in the current issue of the magazine. (Note that the above guidelines are operative from January 2010, as there are special guidelines for our December Issue).Please note that contributors would not be paid.

We also receive entries for our online magazine. We receive entries in all the categories. There is no theme restriction for the online magazine. Please send a works to the same emails above. We accept only flash fiction (1,000 words or less) for our online magazine. Reviews, essays and creative non-fiction articles must not exceed 1,500 words. Do not send more than two poems. We receive entries for the online magazine at all times. On the subject line for our online magazine entry, write “Online Only.” If entries are not specified in this manner, we might assume you are submitting for the electronic magazine.

Please note that we have a major website overhaul in early December before our next issue is published. Send in your works for consideration. Please note the word count. Other guidelines for the electronic magazine also apply.Please note these guidelines as they differ from the magazine.We would respond to each entry we receive. Give us a month, at most.

Expecting your submission!


Books of the Year
In our Special December Issue, we wish to publish a collection of books writers and readers have best loved during the year, 2009. Though we are sending out special invitations, we’re also treating you to that specialty. Please send us (in about 200 words) what book(s) you read during the year that made the most profound meaning to you. It’s nothing technical. Just send a reply to this message and we’d access it. The deadline for the submission for this issue is October 30. Hope you are making final changes to your story (3,000 to 10,000 words)? Already, our Editor (part time, God bless her) has gotten in touch with writers whose stories we’ve accepted (and rejected). We are still considering stories, though.

Several established writers have agreed to review the stories we receive. As noted earlier, the reviews would be published alongside the story.

We’re only soliciting for stories. So do not send any other genre to us, except for our online magazine.

On the issue, we hope to publish other unsolicited works, including short memoirs, featured photography, short interviews and so forth. Expect a bumper package.
