Ariel Chart International Literary Journal

About

ARIEL CHART is dedicated to works of brevity. Poetry. Short Fiction. Short Nonfiction. Interviews. We do not follow any school, theme, or genre. We judge work based on quality; not politics. If you want to impress us--drop the dopey bumper sticker excuses for insight and write something clever, fresh or daring. I'd take honesty any day.

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
Be professional, patient, and persistent.
