Lingnan Literary Journal

There are presently no open calls for submissions.

We are looking for:

 Literary Work

Fiction of any genre: no more than 5000 words

Creative non-fiction, including memoirs, literary journalism, and film, art, or book reviews: no more than 5000 words

Poetry: no more than 40 lines each

Translation: contemporary works preferred. We welcome translations from Chinese, Russian, German, French, Turkish, Tagalog, or Spanish. Length limits are the same as for English submissions for each genre. Please include the original work as well as your translation.

Graphic narratives (comics): no more than 10 pages

 Artwork

The journal seeks visual art submissions to supplement the literary pieces. Please send us JPGs or TIFFs of your:

drawings, paintings, photographs, collages, calligraphy, sculptures, blueprints (architectural or for 3D printers), or any genre of visual art we have left out. Files should be no larger than 20MB; if your file is larger, please contact the editorial staff at sreedhevi@hotmail.com.

Previously published works are welcome, as are works which you found under your bed after years and have now edited and improved. You can submit any number of works (though we probably won’t publish all of them). We are sorry we cannot offer payment for your work, but you will get RECOGNITION by *the best philological minds of LNU* and the respect of your friends, to whom you will brag about being published.

We look forward to reading your work!
