Submission Guidelines
Submissions are currently CLOSED, but here are our guidelines as you prepare to submit for future issues.
​
I, the Goose, request your most vibrant honks! I don't quite know what I want. However, I love funny, quirky, serious, gut-wrenching, and anything that will make me read it again! If I remember it in the morning, I want to keep it in my nest!
​
I welcome writing from EVERYONE . All submissions are free and should be sent to dogeeseseegodmag@gmail.com​. Every submitted piece should be previously unpublished and in the correct formatting as outlined below.
Your subject line should follow this format: "Genre" by "author (word count)"
-
For example: Fiction by Lucy Goosey (6969 words)
​
Simultaneous submissions are welcome, but please inform us if/when your work is accepted elsewhere. We would love to celebrate with you!
Response Time
-
The Goose's staff consists of other writers who obsessively refresh their inboxes with impatience. We understand the pain of waiting for a response. However, we also understand that editors need time.
-
We will email you once to acknowledge your submission (hopefully within one week). Please query if you have not received an email acknowledging your submission after one week.
-
Our goal is to respond with an acceptance/rejection within two weeks after the submission due date for each issue. Please do not query until two weeks after submissions close.
-
Please wait until you hear from our response to submit to us again.
Unacceptable
-
We WILL NOT accept hateful work. As the Goose, I hate misogyny, bigotry, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, anatidaephobia (fear of geese), and any other "phobias" that marginalize those in the writing community.
-
We will not accept pornographic or graphically violent material. Submitting this will result in automatic rejection with no guarantee of a response.
