Welcome to Menagerie's submission page. If you've made it this far, you've already read what we like and dislike, so we won't repeat it here. The guidelines, however, always bear repeating.

Menagerie Magazine observes the following guidelines:

• Simultaneous submissions are allowed. If your work is accepted elsewhere, please withdraw it.
• Please submit to only one category at a time. A focused submission is better than hitting all categories at once.
• Poetry submissions may include 3-5 poems at once. If one of the poems is accepted elsewhere, notify us, and we’ll continue considering the other poems in your submission.
• Stories and essays should be no more than 5K. We tend to publish in the 1-3K category more frequently, through, given the short attention span we all have on the web.
• We pay $50 per acceptance (e.g. one piece of prose or one to three poems) and acquire first serial rights. We do not republish work that has already appeared elsewhere.
• Please expect a response time of 30-60 days. Feel free to query us if more time has elapsed.

Note: If only tip jar subs are available, that means we've hit our monthly (submittable-imposed) free cap. If you want to submit for free, just wait till the start of the next month.
