Disclaimers:
-
For reasons of space, the submission of your pieces does not automatically result in their inclusion in the magazine. The Spill of Quill's editing board will decide on which pieces to include: you will be informed by e-mail if your work is going to be featured in the magazine.
-
Please submit original works only: do not send anything already published elsewhere.
-
You are allowed to send more than one submission. However, you have to adhere to the page limit for each submission.
-
We do not accept any offensive, explicit or discriminatory content. Final judgment on this matter rests with the Spill of Quill's editorial board.
-
Spill of Quill takes no responsibility for the correctness of the language of texts excluding texts written in German, Italian, French, and the English translations.
-
The rights of the published texts stay with the authors, whose names will be published on the magazine as they are provided. However, with your submission, you are authomatically authorizing Spill of Quill to publish your work on its magazine. In addition, you alone are responsible of submitting only your own personal work, which should not be contractually bound elsewhere.
