Please follow the below submission requirements. If you are a first-time writer, you can find excellent formatting instructions and examples on the Shunn website. We publish in digital, print, and audiobook formats for the widest distribution and inclusivity. Please submit only one genre per reading period. If selected, contributors are also invited to submit a recorded reading of their work for the audiobook.

• We are strong believers in the Oxford comma.
• Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but please email us to remove your submission ASAP if your work is accepted elsewhere (we’ll respond with a virtual high-five)
• We prefer no reprints, however will make exceptions if it’s a perfect fit + very high-quality writing

All rights revert to authors and artists upon publication. We do request first publication acknowledgment if works are published elsewhere in the future. We also ask permission to post brief excerpts to social media for promotion. Anodyne Magazine requests sole and exclusive ownership over the content for the entire time of drafting, editing, and illustrating the issue until publication.

• We pay our contributors! Each contributor will receive a dividend of sales from the issue in which they are published for as long as sales come in. Payouts occur quarterly via bank transfer.

Contributors will also be invited to a pre-launch Zoom session with the editors to network and strategize the promotion of their work for greater visibility. We believe every creator should receive the greatest support for their work, and that FLINTA* health experiences must be read about. We look forward to working with you!
