Author's rights
We ask for First North American Rights, as well as the nonexclusive right to display and sell magazines that include your work. This means that we will keep your piece online on our website, and potentially use it in print if we expand later on in our run. You maintain full ownership of your work. We ask that you credit Flat Ink Magazine as the first place of publication if your piece is later published elsewhere. By submitting, you affirm that your work does not violate copyright law in any form.
Additional info
Please do not send sexually explicit work, we have minors reading! Note, that some genres may be closed, while others stay open. Our previous response time was heavily impacted by health issues with our editorial staff. We are now back to our predicted response time :)
