About Qwerty Magazine

What to Send?

  • Their number one criterion, above all else, is mastery of the craft. Though Qwerty has primarily published literary fiction and fine art, we have no qualms with publishing genre fiction that subverts convention, experimental work that inverts tradition in pursuit of innovative storytelling, or images that play on the senses in unusual ways.
  • So go ahead: Send them your stories that tap into the lower depths of the public consciousness. And also send us your poems and photos about the zombie apocalypse. So long as it’s exemplary, we’d be delighted to feature your work in future issues of Qwerty.
  • Authors retain full copyright for works published in Qwerty.
  • Fiction/Creative Non-Fiction: previously unpublished fiction and creative non-fiction up to 5,000 words in length. Your submission must be double-spaced, in 12-point font. Please send only one story at a time.
  • Poetry: previously unpublished poetry in any style. You may submit up to 6 pages of poetry, single-spaced. Each poem should begin on a new page, and all poems should be in a single file.
  • Artwork and Photography: We accept up to 5 high-quality, unpublished prints per submission.
  • Reviews and Interviews: Please query them (qwertymagazine[at]gmail[dot]com) about submitting reviews and interviews.

What Happens Next?

Qwerty is staffed entirely by volunteers, and response time usually varies between 6-12 months. If you need to withdraw a submission or part of a submission, please withdraw or add a note indicating so through your Submittable account. Please wait until you have received a reply to your first submission before submitting again, and please submit to only one genre at a time.

Contributors whose work is selected for publication are rewarded with a small honorarium (CDN $15) and one complimentary copy of the issue in which their work appears.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact qwertymagazine[at]gmail[dot]com.
