This Dublin-based literary journal is open to submissions through the 16th of March. They state their goal on their home page as: “We aim to collect and protect the works of artists, from Ireland and beyond.”
You can get a good feel for what they publish by reading their most recent issue here. They publish each issue for free online but also have a print copy for sale. So far it has been available for free online, but you can also purchase a copy through Winding Stair Bookshop. You can see the masthead for The Martello here.
Please try to get a sense for what they publish before submitting. The theme of this particular issue is EQUIVOCATION. They don’t expand on the theme in words, but do share an image alongside the word, which you can see on the right had side of their submission page here. They are only interested in work that connects to the theme. Please do not submit unthemed work to them.
They allow authors to submit 3-5 poems, and up to 1,000 words of prose. Artwork and photography submissions are not limited by a number. Writers can submit work to more than one category, but each category must be sent in a separate email.
They also state, “Please keep all content respectful. We do not tolerate racism, homophobia, transphobia or discrimination of any kind.” Please honor that.
To spend more time with their submission guidelines and to see their email address, please go here.
