  • Poetry submissions should be no more than 5 poems or 10 pages.
  • Prose submissions should be no longer than 25 pages, double-spaced, single-sided.
  • All submissions must include a SASE for reply and a cover letter. Cover letters let us know that you’re a real person who actually has some knowledge about LIT. We appreciate that sort of thing. Submissions without cover letters will NOT be considered.
  • Contributors must receive a reply from LIT before submitting new work; additional submissions received before we have sent a reply to a previous submission will be returned unread!
  • Our reading periods are from September to mid-December and January to May. Do not submit more than twice in either period.
  • We do not consider submissions filed by professional coordinating services.
