By submitting, you acknowledge the potential for your work to be used and credited in a research paper. Furthermore, selected writers may be given opportunity to be interviewed on their writing and research process.

• Marsh Rabbit retains first serial rights. By submitting, you understand that you will need to wait until after publication of Marsh Rabbit in 2024 to publish your story elsewhere. 

• Please write the work title and your full name in your submission. If you wish to be published anonymously, please write so on the linked submission form.

• By submitting, you accept the right of your story to be subject to small edits (grammar, etc.) by our staff. We will seek your approval during this process.

• We want to know about your perspective of speculative history. As a submission requirement, writers will need to answer a few questions about their interests as a writer and their research process.
