Author's rights
Chapman University (the institutional home of Tab Journal) shall have First North American Serial Rights to publish accepted work electronically and/or in print. Publication rights revert to the author upon publication in Tab Journal, but we do retain permission to republish and to submit to other outlets such as the Pushcart Prizes and Best of the Net. In addition, we ask that subsequent publication of the work acknowledge its first publication in Tab Journal.
Additional info
We welcome submissions from writers with a variety of backgrounds, experiences, voices, and aesthetics and continue to seek work by BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and D/disabled writers. Payment. Though we cannot guarantee payment, we expect to pay $75 to each contributor for as long as the budget allows. For accepted poems, Tab Journal requires poets to provide an audio file or give Tab Journal permission to make a recording of the work. We are not currently requiring audio for work other than poems.
