Channel Magazine 

Fiction and poetry submissions for Issue 10 will open in November. We remain open for submissions of non-fiction and visual art year-round.

How to Submit

Poetry and fiction should be submitted only during our open submission windows.

Please submit your work as a Word document or PDF attachment to the relevant email address as listed below:

Essays/Non-fiction – essay@channelmag.org

Fiction – fiction@channelmag.org

Poetry – poetry@channelmag.org

Due to the volume of work we receive, we ask that writers submit no more than one essay, one short story and/or four poems per submission window. If you have an essay submission currently awaiting a response from us, please wait until you hear from us before submitting another essay.

Please do not include your name or any identifying information within your submission file. Although you are welcome to introduce yourself and to include biographical information within the body of your email, this is not a requirement. All submissions will be given equal consideration, and submissions by new writers, as well as by writers from backgrounds or communities currently underrepresented in Irish publishing, are particularly encouraged.

We aim to showcase a wide variety of voices within Channel. For this reason, we ask that if your work has been accepted for publication in Issue 8 you wait one issue before submitting again.

We welcome simultaneous submissions, but ask that you let us know as soon as possible if your work is accepted for publication elsewhere.

Visual Art Submissions

We are also seeking visual art (in any medium) to feature on the covers of our upcoming issues. As we wish to provide a showcase for local artists, we are currently accepting visual art submissions only from artists based on the island of Ireland. Please tell us a little about your practice, and submit a sample or samples of your work that you believe could become engaging cover art, at info@channelmag.org.

Payment & Rights

We believe in paying writers, and are working to increase the fees paid to our contributors. At this time we can offer a fee of €50 per poem and €50 per page of prose, up to a total maximum fee of €150 per piece. The artist whose work is featured on each of our covers will receive a fee of €250. All contributors to our print issues, including cover artists, will also receive a copy of the issue in which their work appears.

When a piece of written work is accepted for publication, Channel buys first serial rights.

 Work published in our print issues will also be included in any digital editions of the issue in which it appears, including the digital archive currently available to our patrons. Short extracts may be featured across our website and social media for promotional purposes. All other rights remain with you and you are welcome to republish your work following the launch of the issue in which it appears. We would be grateful if you mention Channel as the place of first publication.

When we pay for cover art, we are buying the right to reproduce the selected work on an issue’s cover, as well as on any promotional materials surrounding that issue. All other rights remain with the artist.
