Aji Magazine Submission

Aji published the work of about 15% of the writers and artists who submitted to us. Editorial decisions involve not only quality

Aji Magazine

Silence is golden. . .unless, as Paul Simon wrote in his famous song, it destroys honest, creative expression of our deepest, most essential truths. Sometimes, silence is best; other times, it’s a deep, dry arroyo in a desert where no rain has fallen for too long, where nothing can thrive. Want to be heard? Send us your graphic art, photography, poetry, short fiction, and essays. Work on this and any other topic will be considered for publication. Once the fall 2022 issue is filled, submissions will close until November 1, 2022.

Aji Magazine General Guidelines & Information

In 2016, Aji published the work of about 15% of the writers and artists who submitted to us.  Editorial decisions involve not only quality (please edit and finely tune your work before submitting for serious review) but also diversity in terms of published works and contributors. On average, about half of the work in any issue relates to the advertised theme.

 

Follow our guidelines for poems, stories, essays, bios and photos in good faith, and in turn we promise each submission will receive an attentive review and a response within ten weeks, often much sooner. 

We are a small staff. As our submissions increase (that’s good—thank you!) our ability to make exceptions diminishes.

 

We consider only previously unpublished work. Work that has appeared for general reading online has been published already, and so should not be submitted for publication in Aji.

 

If your submission is selected for publication, you will be notified via email.   Aji requires a brief bio (40-60 words) and a photo of you to accompany your published work.  We will publish one link submitted with the bio. Once we accept your piece, you must withdraw it from consideration elsewhere immediately.

 

Simultaneous submissions are accepted.  Please notify us as soon as possible in the happy event (too bad for us!) that your piece has been accepted elsewhere.

Aji will retain first North American serial rights to all material we publish.   However, we will gladly allow republishing—just ask!
