Frequently Asked Questions
Do you pay?
At this moment, we are still fighting to secure funding for Issue 2. We hope we will at least be in a position to in small part remunerate translators for their work.

When will I hear about my submission?
August 1, if not earlier.
What are your formatting requirements?
Formatting is of minor concern!
Do you accept simultaneous submissions?
Yes!
Do you accept novel excerpts?
Yes! As long as they can be read as stand-alone pieces.
Do you accept translations of unpublished works?
Yes!
Do we need to secure translation rights?
If accepted, we will ask that you share with us the permission to publish from the copyright holder. The journal will not request those rights on your behalf.

Not at this time.
Do you accept reprints?
