SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

We welcome submissions of poetry and short fiction to Under the Radar magazine, but please take note of the following guidelines and our open submissions dates.

All submissions for Under the Radar must be made online through our Submittable portal, during our open submissions dates. Please contact us if you are not able to access Submittable online to arrange alternative method of submission. Please do not send submissions to the main Nine Arches Press email address.

Please do not make multiple submissions, either by sending us work you have also simultaneously submitted to other magazines, competitions or publications, or by sending us further work to consider before we have responded to your first submission. We cannot consider submissions that ignore this request.

In addition, please do not submit and then withdraw work because you have sent it to another magazine in between and had part or all of your submission accepted for publication elsewhere. This can result in other people losing out on the opportunity to be published if you work has already been longlisted or shortlisted, and wastes a great deal of time for editors who have taken care and time to consider your writing.

Please submit no more than six poems, or a maximum 2,500-3000 words of short fiction.

Please only submit previously unpublished work.

Please include a covering letter with your full postal address, as well as a short biographical note (in the third person of no more than 50 words).

We are not able to offer payment for poems or short stories selected for publication in the magazine.

To ensure plenty of variety, we do not feature the same poets in consecutive issues. Please allow at least six months before submitting to the magazine again if we have already published some of your poems in the most recent issue.
