____________________________________________________________

We are currently accepting submissions for the next issue of Octopus Magazine, which will be exclusively reviews and recovery projects. Please send reviews and recovery projects—or query us about any potential review or recovery project.

Octopus will also read poetry submissions in the 8th month (August) of the year. In or near August, send a friendly number of poems for consideration through one MS word attachment. Introduce yourself to us in the body of the email and feel free to include a list of previous publications, if any.

If you have already published work in a previous issue of Octopus and wish to submit more work in a non-August month, go ahead.

Send to submit@octopusmagazine.com

For guidelines for submitting manuscripts to Octopus Books, go here.

All rights revert to the authors upon publication in Octopus, and the works can then be subsequently published, though we ask that Octopus get its props as the place of initial publication. We'll accept simultaneous submissions, just let us know if it is accepted elsewhere. We do not consider previously published work.
