Jacaranda Journal keeps submissions open year round for works of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry published straight to JJ Online. We also conduct two themed call-outs each year for works of fiction, non-fiction, poetry, photography, and art for our biannual print journal.
Please read our submission guidelines carefully before submitting your work.
Written submission guidelines
Before submitting, please take a moment to consider the following submission requirements. Jacaranda Journal accepts works of fiction and creative non-fiction (up to 2,500 words in length), poetry (up to 4 poems of no more than 75 lines each), and photography and art (up to 4 pieces).
We ask that written submissions be formatted in the following way:
-
12 pt Times New Roman (or similar), double-spaced.
-
docx. or pdf.
-
Labelled with name and type (e.g. JaneDoe_Poetry OR JohnDoe_Fiction).
-
Please flag content where necessary.
Maximum word lengths are a guide. If your piece falls a little outside of these guidelines, but is a good fit for Jacaranda, it will still be considered by our editors. Anyone can submit to Jacaranda Journal multiple times, excluding the winners of our competitions.
AI is strictly prohibited. We ask that, alongside art submissions, there is appropriate evidence supplied of authenticity (art progress pictures). For digital art, you may additionally be asked to provide a recording of layers.
For all submissions, we will utilise AI detection rubrics.
Submissions for Scorched Earth 12.1 close on April 8th.
