Submit to JUNO

Juno Literary shall be accepting submissions for our issue 1 on the theme ‘Fusion Food’ from January 1st to March 1st 2026. We welcome poetry, fiction, non-fiction, and hybrid unconventional pieces as long as they are relevant to our theme. To better understand our theme, please check out our Instagram page where we post daily updates as well as our guidelines. Submissions must be mailed at junoliterarymagazine@gmail.com

GUIDELINES

• Simultaneous submissions are fine, but let us know if your work is accepted elsewhere!
• We are looking for fiction and non fiction including personal essays, short stories, and unconventional forms as long as they are under 5000 words. Please limit poetry submissions to three per person.
• Please make the subject of your emails Submissions-(poetry/fiction/nonfiction) whichever you’re submitting. Include your name and a short (100-150 words) third person bio.
• We accept submissions in all formats so go crazy with font, line spacing, and whatever you like.
• If your work is selected, please do not publish it anywhere else until after the publication of Issue 2. However, you are free to share excerpts on your personal blog or page as long as you credit Juno Literary as the publisher.
• While we would love to review each and every piece that comes our way, we’re incredibly short-staffed and run by busy university students. We will be providing feedback on the first 20 pieces if they are not accepted. Accepted pieces will not receive any feedback.
• Acceptance emails will be sent out by April 15th and the issue shall be avaliable for reading online by the 15th of may. Feel free mail us about your submission if you don’t receive any information by the 25th of April.

We do not accept any works that are demeaning or derogatory towards any marginalised communities and/or persons. We will not accept works that involve gratuitous depictions of Sexual Violence, Gender Based Violence, or violence against children and animals.

“I am an expression of the divine, just like a peach is, just like a fish is. I have a right to be this way…I can’t apologize for that, nor can I change it, nor do I want to… We will never have to be other than who we are in order to be successful…We realize that we are as ourselves unlimited and our experiences valid. It is for the rest of the world to recognize this, if they choose.”
― Alice Walker, The Color Purple
