Salamander Magazine Submissions

Salamander, which is published biannually, features poetry, fiction, and nonfiction; our open reading period for 2021-2022 is October 1–April 1, with a holiday break between late December and early January. 

Manuscripts sent outside of this reading period will be returned or discarded. Although we do not accept works submitted by email, you are welcome to submit work through our online submission manager.

Salamander is committed to participating in the ongoing conversation and practice regarding inclusion and equity. To this end, we encourage submissions from underrepresented voices and writers from marginalized communities.

 Additionally, we share this link to the Black Lives Matter card (https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/) to provide readers access to BLM-endorsed strategies that support change locally and worldwide.
