About the magazine
Duotrope is not a publisher or a residency but a comprehensive, subscription-based database and resource for writers and artists seeking publication opportunities. Founded in 2005 by a small team of writers, it was created to address the need for a centralized, searchable index of literary magazines, journals, and anthologies, complete with submission guidelines, response times, and acceptance rates. Its core mission is to empower creators with transparent data, helping them make informed decisions about where to submit their work. Over time, Duotrope has expanded to include a submission tracker and a platform called Duosuma, which allows publishers to manage submissions directly. The organization operates on a paid-subscription model, ensuring independence from advertising and maintaining a focus on user privacy and data accuracy.

Duotrope is not an organization that accepts creative submissions directly. Instead, it serves as a directory and submission management platform. Artists and writers should use Duotrope to identify suitable markets for their work by filtering by genre, length, pay rate, and response time. When using Duosuma, the submission system hosted by Duotrope, follow the specific guidelines provided by the individual publisher. It is advisable to maintain a subscription to access full features, including the submission tracker, which can help organize multiple submissions and avoid simultaneous submissions to markets that prohibit them. Always verify guidelines on the publisher's website, as Duotrope's listings are user-updated and may occasionally lag behind changes.
