Submissions for Spring 2020 - Now Open!
Are the objects in your rear view mirror closer than they appear? The theme for Aji’s spring 2020 issue is hindsight. Send us graphic art, photography, poetry, short fiction, and essays on those things that seem obvious only after the fact. Work on this and any other topic will be considered for publication. Once the spring 2020 issue is filled, submissions will close until May.

General Guidelines & Information
In 2016, Aji published the work of about 15% of the writers and artists who submitted to us. Editorial decisions involve not only quality (please edit and finely tune your work before submitting for serious review) but also diversity in terms of published works and contributors. On average, about half of the work in any issue relates to the advertised theme.
Follow our guidelines for poems, stories, essays, bios and photos in good faith, and in turn we promise each submission will receive an attentive review and a response within ten weeks, often much sooner.
We are a small staff. As our submissions increase (that’s good—thank you!) our ability to make exceptions diminishes.
We consider only previously unpublished work. Work that has appeared for general reading online has been published already, and so should not be submitted for publication in Aji.
If your submission is selected for publication, you will be notified via email. Aji requires a brief bio (40-60 words) and a photo of you to accompany your published work. We will publish one link submitted with the bio. Once we accept your piece, you must withdraw it from consideration elsewhere immediately.
Simultaneous submissions are accepted. Please notify us as soon as possible in the happy event (too bad for us!) that your piece has been accepted elsewhere.
Aji will retain first North American serial rights to all material we publish. However, we will gladly allow republishing—just ask!
