Yanaguana Submissions General Guidelines
We encourage submissions in poetry, visual art work, reviews, interviews, and essay/memoir/creative nonfiction. You may submit in more than one category, but please use the appropriate forms. We make room as we are able for fiction; please email us to see if your fiction piece might find a place here.
Yanaguana is published in electronic format twice a year: Fall/Winter and Spring/Summer. Work we accept for Yanaguana is typically published in the next available issue. Please be aware of the submission deadlines for each issue.
If we accept your work we will request electronic rights. Rights return to the author after publication.
Please also let us know if you are submitting your work elsewhere.
Sol
Interpret "Sol" how you wish.
We are always curious to view unpublished, highly skilled, visual art that fits the issue's theme. The kind of art we look for includes, but is not limited to, fine art, photography, illustration, graphic art, or mixed media. Please submit up to 3 images of your visual artwork. Images must be 300 dpi or higher definition, for consideration.
You must disclose the use of Artificial Intelligence in your work and in which ways AI may have contributed to your work, if any.
Submission Deadlines
We publish Yanaguana in a Spring/Summer and a Fall/Winter issue. For 2026, because we were slow in getting Yanaguana issue 1 underway, we have pushed back the deadline for the Spring/Summer issue. But we will try to keep to July 15 for the Fall/Winter issue. We will strive to respond to all submissions regarding our decision to accept, but if all you hear is silence please send us an email asking what's up.
Rights
We will notify you if your submission is accepted. If we publish your work we ask that you give us first North American Serial Rights and electronic media rights to your work, and we ask that Yanaguana be acknowledged if the work is subsequently published in book format or reprinted in another venue. All rights revert back to author after publication.
Artists whose work is accepted will be celebrated through Yanaguana's social media, but there will be no further remuneration, unless negotiated separately. We are delighted and honored if you also tag Yanaguana in your social media posts upon publication.
***Yanaguana is aware of our speech acts and will not consider work that makes use of hate speech in unwise ways such as racism, Xenophobia, sexism, homophobia, Transphobia, ableism, or ageism.
