Poetry of all lengths are welcome.

Please keep short stories under 8,000 words.

Submissions may be sent to us at any time, year-round. 

Please do not submit any previously published work.

Simultaneous submissions are welcome, but please withdraw your work immediately if it is accepted elsewhere.

Local Honey Magazine reserves the right to charitably reject any piece that The Editors determine does not align with our standards of the English language, subject matter, and theme.

Local Honey Magazine is not intended for children. While some content will be suitable for children, The Editors will not guarantee that the entire magazine will be.

While we are not explicitly looking for upbeat themes or Christian subjects, we do adhere to a set of principles focused on the True, the Good, and the Beautiful.

Please bear in mind that your piece may be well-written and/or thought-provoking—but it just might not be the right fit for our publication.

The Editors aim to provide concrete and charitable feedback for all submissions—both accepted and rejected.
