*Please note that if you have a piece that has been published in another magazine or journal, you may submit to us as long as you have permission from the other publication. If we choose a piece that has previously been published we will simply put, “Previously published in…” and then where, at the end of the piece. Please include where it has been published so we may add this to our publication.
Dream Write Literary Journal will announce those who will be in each volume via email. If you are not chosen, please feel free to work on your piece(s) and resubmit, as we will have a new call for submissions every three months.
Guidelines will be per deadline date.
