Submission Guidelines

 Assignment Literary Magazine is run by Southern New Hampshire University's Master's of Fine Arts in Fiction or Nonfiction program. We publish using First North American Serial Rights. After publication, all rights revert to the author.

  • We accept poetry, fiction, non-fiction, micro/flash fiction, or even any other literature that doesn’t quite fit any of those categories. We are excited to see the work you’re excited about,

  • We do accept simultaneous submissions, but in the event your work is accepted elsewhere (yay!) we ask you to please inform us as soon as possible,

  • Please format your work so there is only one piece per page,

  • Please place your genre in the title of your submission,

  • Please only submit once per submission period,

  • Please include a third person biography with your submission, no longer than 100 words, which contains your social media information,

  • All work must be original (no use of AI in its creation) and previously unpublished,

  • Work must be proofread and ready for publication,

  • Please do not have your name or other identifying information on your submission,

  • We have no minimum for word count, but we ask that you don’t exceed 5,000 words for the literary magazine, 2,500 for the micromag, or 5 poems.
