Subnivean’s editorial mission is to curate and produce bone-deep, high-caliber literary art that speaks urgently to an evermore-connected international audience.
We publish three to four issues per year: Fall, Winter, Spring, and sometimes Summer.
OPENING DECEMBER 1: Subnivean New Writers Award, a special opportunity for Central New York high school students. Young writers, prepare your submissions and get ready to show up and show out!
Subnivean is always grateful for the opportunity to read your work.
We are a small undergraduate staff, so it can take 2-4 months for us to read carefully through every submission. Simultaneous submissions are welcome, provided that you notify us if another publication beats us to accepting your skilled work.
Please submit an unpublished story or standalone excerpt of 6,000 words or less, in a single document. We do consider English translations, so long as the work has not been published in English before. Due to potential conflicts of interest, Subnivean does not accept general submissions from current SUNY Oswego students.
Subnivean reserves first North American publishing rights; upon publication, rights revert immediately to the author. Due to the impact of COVID-19-related budget cuts upon the SUNY system and our department, we are unable to pay contributors—but we hope you'll still send your work our way now, though we pay only in undying affection and by shouting our contributors' good names from the mountaintops.
We look forward to reading your fiction.
Technical obstacles? We'll try our best to help you get around them. Please contact us at SubniveanMag@gmail.com.
