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  • Submit only previously unpublished work.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.
