Submissions

Submissions are currently closed.

Submissions will be opening in early 2025.

General submission guidelines for the next issue:
  • We will be accepting poetry under 80 lines, prose under 1000 words, and artworks to fit on an A4 page.
  • We will only be accepting works which are previously unpublished.
  • Please submit one poem or work of prose only.
  • Include in the body of your email: your name (and the name you publish under, if different), pronouns, the title of your piece, a bio of 30 words or less, your social media handle if you would like to be tagged, and your city/location (especially if you are outside Aotearoa).
  • In your email, please also let us know if you have previously been published in Overcom (this doesn't lessen your chances of your work being chosen!)
