Submissions
Guidelines
We welcome unsolicited submissions via our online submissions systembetween October 1 and April 1. Our criteria for publication are best gauged by a close reading of the magazine. We publish fiction, memoir, reportage, poetry and art. We do not publish academic essays or book reviews.
We only publish original material, i.e. first-ever publication. We cannot run a piece that has already appeared on the web or elsewhere in print. We can, however, publish an original translation if the work has previously appeared in another language. We have no set maximum length or minimum length, though most of our submissions are between 3,000-6,000 words.
We accept submissions in four separate categories. Please submit in only one category at a time. Fiction, non-fiction, poetry and art will be considered for both our print and online editions, unless you specifically state otherwise in your cover letter.
Please include a cover letter stating where your work has been published before, if relevant.
Please do not submit book manuscripts.
Please only submit work written in English.
Please note that we are not in a position to comment on your work. We receive a significant number of submissions every day, many of which may be unsuitable for Granta, however well written.
We aim to respond to submissions within six months of receipt. You may check on the progress of your submission or withdraw it at any time by logging in and clicking on your entry.
Frequently Asked Questions
How soon can I expect to hear about my submission?
We aim to respond to all submissions within six months of receipt.
How can I check the status of my submission?
You can check the status of your submissions at any time by logging into Submittable. If your status is ‘Received’, it has been received. If your status is ‘In-Progress’, your piece has been assigned to a member of our editorial staff.
I’m having trouble logging in to check the status of my piece.
Please contact Submittable directly if you have any trouble with the database.
I’ve revised my piece since I have submitted. Can you consider a newer version of a piece rather than the one I submitted?
If you would like us to consider a newer version of an already submitted piece, please log in to Submittable, withdraw your piece and submit again as a new submission. Please do not contact us separately asking us to replace a submission. We will not receive this email.
I've sent you three poems. Some of them have been accepted elsewhere, or I want to withdraw some from consideration. How do I go about doing this?
If you want to withdraw any individual poems from consideration, please log in to Submittable and add a note to your submission telling us which poems you wish to withdraw. We will see this when we read your submission and will only consider the remaining poem(s).
My piece has been accepted for a different publication. How do I notify you?
If your piece is accepted elsewhere, please log into Submittable and withdraw your submission from our database.
Can I submit my piece somewhere else even if it’s still ‘In-Progress’ in your system?
Yes. If your piece gets accepted elsewhere, please withdraw your submission by logging into Submittable, clicking on your entry and following the instructions. Please do not write to Granta asking to withdraw the piece. We will not receive this email.
Can I submit something that's shorter or longer than the 3,000-6,000 word guideline?
Yes - pieces published in Granta are of variable length. But please refrain from submitting book manuscripts or novellas. It is unlikely that we will read more than 10,000 words of any submission
