We are always looking for quality work from new or experienced writers. Please read all our submission guidelines carefully before submitting work. Submitting automatically signs you up to our free mailing list.

FOR ALL SUBMISSIONS:

Target response time is within 12 weeks. Maximum of 5 submissions at a time. Please allow 12 weeks between submissions.

Please submit by email (preferably with a Word attachment). It costs nothing to submit and our favourite poem and short story in each issue wins £20! Contributor copies are available for free download or to buy in print.

All pieces must be your own, original work, and you must own the copyright. No previously published work (either in print or online) or simultaneous submissions please. Once work is submitted to Gold Dust, it may not be withdrawn.

Pieces may be published online as well as in print. Editing is at our discretion, with author involvement for major changes where possible.
