We accept poetry, prose, and hybrid submissions; submit your work via the Google Form below. We ask that the pieces are your own original work and not created using AI or materials from other writers/sources. Please include any content warnings (CW) in the allotted text box if needed. We also ask that you wait until you hear back from us to submit more work. Additionally, attach your work as a PDF or Word document (.docx). At this time, we are unfortunately unable to pay writers but are committed to work towards doing so in the future.

We accept previously published work; simultaneous submissions are also welcomed and encouraged. If your work is previously published, please indicate the original place of publication in the respective text box so we can properly credit the previous publication. International submissions are accepted but we ask that the pieces are mostly in English and/or include an English translation.

As a youth, POC-led magazine and in the spirit of BUZZCUT Lit’s mission to support diverse voices, we strongly encourage submissions from BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and young writers. We are also excited to provide free feedback to all submissions, around a paragraph’s length total. Click the button on the Google Form whether you’d like to receive feedback or not.

BUZZCUT aims to respond to all submissions within 2 weeks, though our response time is often shorter than that. If 3 weeks have passed and we have not yet responded to your submission, feel free to send us an inquiry at buzzcutlit@gmail.com.
