Submission Guidelines
At Sabr Literary Magazine, we aspire to showcase today's voices of creativity, knowledge, and diversity. We are a new, weekly literary magazine that publishes short fiction, flash fiction, poetry, and personal essays/articles from established and emerging writers. In addition, we also publish four quarterly issues featuring work from some of our most promising contributors.
We are always open to submissions, and we aim to respond to all submissions with personalized responses within 48 HOURS. If you do not hear from us within that time, please contact us, as your submission may have been misplaced in our inbox.
Aside from contest rewards, we currently do not offer payment for works featured on our magazine, but we are looking to offer token to semi-pro payment in the future. In the meantime, what we do offer is exposure and a chance to get your cherished work out to the public. Our personalized responses ensure that someone is reading your work thoroughly, and whether we decided to publish your work or not, we hope that it helps you to grow.
