We’re always welcoming new pieces and contributions from writers and artists of all types!
We accept written work that ranges from 300 to 5000 words. We may accept longer work, which we will split up. If you have multiple shorter submissions, please group them together into one document, up to five submissions. Please double space and use a size 12 font with serifs for English (such as Times New Roman). Please send us your work in the form of a Word Document, or another editable format via email. Work that does not comply with these necessary readability requirements will be automatically sent back.
We would prefer one submission at a time from any single contributor, please wait to hear back from us before resubmitting. We are fine with simultaneous submissions as long as we are informed immediately if the work is accepted elsewhere.
We will do our best to provide substantive feedback if your work is not right for our magazine.
If you would prefer to remain anonymous, we publish under the house name Jamal al-Dunya.
At present, we cannot pay contributors as we do not have any money. We hope to, however, compile and print work accepted for publication periodically into copies for the contributors and available for purchase for the general public. If your work is visual in nature, we may like to also print it and put it into the printed copies in a smaller postcard sized format. You may withdraw consent for your work being present in printed form, and waive your right to a contributor copy at any point prior to the printing of the copies. We retain the right to refrain from printing works published online.
By submitting you grant Tawahan permission to publish the product attached herein in print and online sources. Any and all re-publications of said work will cite Tawahan as the original publisher by including said language in the body of the article: “This article originally appeared on Tawahan.com.” I understand the terms of publication and agree to penalties for copyright infringement in the case of abrogation.
By sending us your work you agree to the following points
- I have read and understand the submission guidelines
- I agree to the content of the final paragraph and give Tawahan the permissions stated
In your email please include the name of the piece, your name (unless you’d prefer to remain anonymous and be published as Jamal al-Dunya), and whether you’d like a printed copy if your work is chosen.
Send your work to editors@tawahan.com
