Guidelines for Submission

Buffalo Almanack is proud to adopt outstanding reader-submitted fiction, visual art and book reviews for inclusion in both our digital journal and online archives. Visual art submissions can expect response times of under one week while fiction can expect a response in two weeks or less (any longer may indicate that you are under special consideration). Please note that due to the unending sisyphean nightmare that is editorship, we are no longer able to provide personalized rejection messages.

New issues are released quarterly, in March, June, September and December. We are not a regularly paying market, though we do offer a $50 prize for the best of each issue through our Inkslinger Award for Creative Excellence. In addition, we are not a market for poetry. Please familiarize yourself with the following information prior to sending us your work.

(P.S. – Don’t be scared! We feel a bit of love for everything that passes across our desk, even if we can’t offer room for it all.)
