Submit Your Work to Orlando
Your work will remain completely anonymous during the review process. Do not include your name on your submission document or in the title of the document. Submissions with the name of the author included will not be considered for publication.
Additionally, contributors have the option to remain anonymous if their work is selected for publication.
Any work detected to be written or assisted by AI will not be considered for publication.
Orlando Lit Mag is a magazine for LGBTQ+ stories.
Anyone is welcome to submit as long as your work aligns with our mission; that being said, we reserve the right to prioritize submissions by those who identify as being part of the LGBTQ+ community. We are publishing LGBTQ+ creative works, meaning your story or work must have a queer element to it in some sort of way — implied or explicitly stated! Our primary goal is to provide a space where one can be truly authentic and not worry about any judgement or hatred.
A queer story is not only a romance story! We want all genres, topics, and identities. One of the best aspects of the LGBTQ+ community is our diversity. There is no such thing as “not gay enough.” All works submitted will be taken into consideration, including those with only undertones and vibes.
For any trigger warnings — including, but not limited to, internalized homophobia — please put them in bold at the top of your document.
Please do not submit more than three pieces across all genres.
Finally, we will not publish work that has been previously published. If you are submitting a piece to multiple publications and get selected somewhere, please email us and let us know so we can take your submission out of our consideration!
