The Visual Literary Journal

Our second issue features work from celebrated writers Toby Litt, Helen Oyeyemi, and Luke Kennard as well as a major new translation of Romanian writer, Ioan Grosan. Contributing to our interest in visual narratives, illustrations complement each story while stills from Anya Lewin's recent film, 'With Heartfelt Gratitude for the painless Treatment', are featured throughout.


General Submissions:

Submissions are welcome from 1 September - 30 March each year. Please do not submit outside these months as we need the summer months to process the fine stories we're publishing. We welcome submissions of up to two stories at a time. The word limit guideline is normally 5000/story, but we’re lifting this limit for the next issue as we’re keen to provide a much needed venue for exceptional longer works. If you want to know what kind of fiction to submit, we direct you to order issue 1 or issue 2 which is another way of saying, we like exceptionally well-crafted stories and form-breaking fiction which has narrative drive and dynamic tension. Novel chapters which function as self-contained units may additionally work well for us.

We receive over 600 stories in a reading cycle and can only correspond with writers whose works we are accepting. We not only invite, but expect simultaneous submissions (we do ask, however, that you notify us immediately if a work has been accepted elsewhere). If you have not heard from us after a period of four months, please assume that we will not be publishing your work. We appreciate that ‘no response’ can be even less satisfying than a rejection slip, but be assured that we’re using the time saved to work with those authors whose work will appear in the next issue.
