COVID LIT

This project is believed to be defunct. (January 2021)

About

COVID LIT is a new online lit mag that gives the middle finger to the world’s ills by publishing, promoting, and spreading art, poetry, and prose. We, like any great publication, want to publish work that moves, matters, and says what no one has said before. What sets us apart, however, is our mission: We want to use our powers for good, so we’ve made writing philanthropic.

Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions, and they do not offer monetary payment for accepted submissions. (Note: About 8% of magazines always charge fees.)

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.
