JONAHmagazine

Submitting your work

Before submitting, read at least one full issue to understand the magazine's aesthetic range. JONAHmagazine favors work that is polished but not overworked, and that demonstrates a clear voice or vision. Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but notify promptly if your work is placed elsewhere. Include a brief cover letter with your submission, mentioning any relevant publications or influences, but avoid excessive self-promotion. For visual art, submit high-resolution images with a descriptive list. Response times vary, but generally fall within 4–8 weeks. The magazine does not charge submission fees for standard submissions, though occasional themed calls may have a small fee to support production costs.

Poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction, maximum one prose piece and/or three poetry pieces per submission. Poems should be moderate in length, prose maximum 2,500 words. If accepted for publication, please refrain from submission for next edition, wait until the one after that. Illustrations (JPG or JPEG preferred) may accompany the written material but will not necessarily be accepted, and should be in “good taste.” If accepted elsewhere, inform us so an embarrassing situation of simultaneous acceptance does not occur.
