What are the Length Requirements for Submissions to the
Author's Journal of Inventive Literature?
We've decided not to institute strict length guidelines at this time. A work should be precisely as long as it needs to be.
​
Novelettes are now being considered as we transition to an anthology format. However, please keep them under 40,000 words or so.
​
We generally publish around 20,000 total words of story in each journal issue.
​
Poems should be somewhere between 2 lines and 4 pages.
​
Poetic essays have similar lengths to poems.
