SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
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. No submissions can be accepted without the correct fee.

FOR ALL SUBMISSIONS:

Please: (1) pay for your submission here; (2) ensure the amount is correct (£3 for a single submission, add £1 for each further submission; and (3) copy your PayPal-generated ID number into the email you set up to send us your submission.

Target response time is within 12 weeks. Maximum of 5 submissions at a time. Please allow 12 weeks between submissions. It is not currently possible to give feedback on rejection.

£3 for first submission, add £1 for each further submission. For each issue: Best prose wins £20, best poem wins £20, runners-up win £6 each. Contributor copies are available for free in PDF form.

Please submit by email. We prefer Word attachments but, if your submission is very short, you can paste it into the body of the email.

Please include a biography (c200 words) in the third person (include past publication credits and future aspirations) with your submission.

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 Once work is entered into Gold Dust's ongoing competition, it may not be withdrawn.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.

Finally, please let us know where you heard about Gold Dust!
