Why are we charging for submissions? We would rather have kept our Open Calls free as a point of principle but we have been overwhelmed by the volume of submissions (including AI-generated submissions) which has made this impossible. Most of the reading and organising for our Open Calls is done in an unpaid voluntary capacity. We really enjoy going through all the work we receive and do so with great interest, but it takes a lot of time. We want to encourage submissions from those with a genuine interest in the publication and a familiarity with past is¬sues. We don’t want to exclude anyone from submitting due to lack of funds and we offer a concession code to all those who are unable to pay.
If you are unable to pay the fee please get in touch with us at [email protected] and we will send you a concession code. This is available to Universal Credit claimants, those in receipt of the Disability Living Allowance or any other kind of income support, those on minimum wage or in similarly low paid jobs. Please note: this is not a student discount.
If you are able to, please consider paying the fee, we are a registered charity run primarily on volunteer time and goodwill.
FIELDNOTES Subscribers, simply send us your submission from the email address used to set up the subscription with ‘Subscriber’ in the subject line.
Please include the completed order number in the subject line of your email when you send us your submission.
