Writers' Corner
Suggested Submission Rules (Based on Literary Magazine Practices)
While Kathasahitya doesn’t publicly post writer‑corner guidelines, here is a general structure you can follow, taking cues from similar literary journals:
1. Originality
-
Submit only previously unpublished work.
-
Do not submit the same piece to multiple outlets simultaneously without informing.
2. Formats & File Type
-
Preferred file formats: Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) or RTF.
-
Use standard 12‑point font, single spacing, simple formatting.
-
Embed any illustrations or visuals within the document.
3. Word Count
-
Short fiction or essays: typically up to 2000–3000 words.
-
Poems: possibly up to 6 pieces in one submission.
-
Reviews or commentary: around 800‑1500 words.
(These are approximate guidelines—specific limits might vary.)
4. Cover Email Essentials
-
Subject line: e.g. “Submission for Writers’ Corner – [Title of Your Piece]”
-
Include in-body:
-
A brief 50–80‑word bio/commentary on your writing.
-
Mention if the work is under consideration elsewhere.
-
Your name, contact info, and brief background.
-
5. Permissions & Copyright
-
If you’re submitting a translation, include explicit permission from the original author.
-
Keep your own rights clear; provide a short author note if requested.
