How to Send in Your Work
Send it by email
We are open to many styles and approaches, covering many different subjects. Send your work in a Word file to the address below, and please label the file with your name so we can find it again. At the moment there are lots of files labelled "Impspired"!
impspired@gmail.comFormatting
All material will be, as far as is possible, displayed in the style in which it is submitted, though occasionally, in order to publish it in our magazine, some changes may need to be made.
Copyright
All work should be your own material and you should own all the rights. If work is chosen, you grant us permission for single use in one of our magazines, and use in a future anthology selected from work in the online magazines. We also have permission to read examples of work from the magazine on radio shows, like Lincoln's Siren Radio, at launches, and so on. You retain copyright of your work.
What We Look For
Work which shows care and attention to style, language and form, and which has obviously been conscientiously self-edited several times so that every word counts. All work will be read, and a decision on whether or not to include it will be emailed to you, so please be patient.
About sending in your work: please include
- A short biography (about 200 words or so)
- A good resolution photograph with your submission
- Up to three pieces per person; multiple submissions are welcome
- We prefer unpublished work, but will print previously published material we love, with an acknowledgement of where it has already appeared
- Please let us know to withdraw a piece if it has been accepted elsewhere

How It Works
The reading never stops
We are currently open for submissions to Impspired Magazine Issue 38, though we are generally in a constant cycle of reading, always looking to fill whatever the next upcoming journal may be.
Every six months we create a print anthology from the e-zines. The first anthology, Volume One, gathered the work from issues 1 & 2 and is available on Amazon.
That means 4 online magazines a year and 2 print anthologies. So please, get writing!
Submit
Send your work by email; we read everything with great interest.
Publish online
Selected work appears in the next quarterly e-zine right here on this site, free for all to read.
Bind in print
Every two issues are gathered into a print anthology, sold on Amazon.
