INFORMATION FOR CONTRIBUTORS
Litbop is published once a year both as a Kindle ebook and as a print-on-demand paperback.
There is currently no money to pay contributors. If your work is accepted, you will receive a PDF copy of the issue in which it appears.
There is no fee to submit, however tips to help with production costs are gratefully accepted through our submission manager DUOSUMA.
Our response time is currently up in the air. We’ll try to be quick, but we’re a fledgling publication, so be patient.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
All submissions must be blind. We don’t want to know your name until after we’ve read your work.
We do consider previously published work.
We consider simultaneous submissions, but please notify us immediately if the work is accepted elsewhere. If we accept your piece, withdraw it from consideration elsewhere.
SHORT STORIES AND SHORT-SHORTS
Literary fiction, genre fiction, experimental fiction—we look for writing that engages the reader and has a point.
Who we like—Dybek, Saunders, O’Connor
We’ll read short and long work not exceeding 7,000 words. Please, submit one piece at a time.
POETRY
We are not looking for angst. Existential dread is okay if it’s not overstated.
Extra points for poignant observations about humans’ relationship to the natural world.
Who we like—Oliver, Ferlinghetti, Brautigan.
Submit up to 5 poems with a maximum of 10 pages in one document.
ART AND PHOTOGRAPHY AND COMICS
We love art. We want to publish art. We want art that illuminates.

Litbop Is In The Newberry
One of our amazing poets, Lani Montreal, recently received this email from Chicago’s prestigious Newberry library. “Thank you very much for your donation of your book Fanboys as well as the first issue of Litbop, which includes your poetry. We will be happy to add these volumes to the Newberry’s rich collections of materials on the history and cultures of the Philippines and by Filipinx-Americans, especially those in Chicago and the Midwest.”
