Submissions
We publish new, previously unpublished work by UK & international writers.
If you are not familiar with the magazine, we encourage you to read our most current (or back) issues to understand the sort of work we publish from contributors.
Submissions should feature an artist or an artist's tool, creation or environment in some way. We very much welcome unique and innovative approaches to this theme! Artists include, but are not limited to: writers, painters, musicians, dancers, performing artists, actors, filmmakers, fashion designers, sculptors, photographers.
Entries must not have been published, self-published, or featured on any website, blog or online forum.
Worldwide copyright of each entry remains with the author, however The Pomegranate London holds the rights to publish selected poems, short stories, flash fiction and essays.
