All submissions are accepted through Submishmash. Go here to submit: http://kneejerkmag.submishmash.com/Submit
We prefer stories and essays that contain fewer than 2,500 words.
Reviews of Things should be under 1,500 words.
If interested in submitting interviews, please first send a query to Jon at jon@kneejerkmag.com.
We accept submissions via Submishmash (we strongly prefer an .rtf file attachment) or singing telegram only.
Knee-Jerk is now accepting comics, illustrations, and other media. Any questions regarding such mediums should be addressed to casey@kneejerkmag.com.
No multiple submissions. Please double-space your manuscripts and avoid FancyFonts. Or glitter.
We do not consider work that has appeared elsewhere. By elsewhere we mean anywhere else.
Yes! We do accept simultaneous submissions, but only if you promise to inform us if your story is accepted elsewhere. We promise to be excited for you.
If you submit via Submishmash, which you have to, expect to hear from us in eight (8) to twelve (12) weeks. If you submit via regular mail, expect to wait much, much, much longer. As in, you may be dead before you hear from us.
Please don’t inquire about the status of your submissions. We’ll let you know eventually. Probably.
We cannot accept responsibility for lost or damaged submissions. We accept responsibility for nothing. In fact, we blame you. Not really. But still.
We enjoy first-time online publishing rights. You enjoy telling all your friends that your story’s been published. All other rights regarding further publication belong to the author.
We cannot pay you. We do, however, love you. And need you. Thank you.
