Submissions

MODRON’s poetry submissions have open calls for set periods, and the rest of the time we are closed. See our news for our most recent or ongoing calls. As an online magazine without regular funding, our ability to pay contributors varies depending on fundraising activities, but when we do have funding, we pass on as much as we can to our writers.

We are always open to article and nonfiction submissions. Please send pitches with links to examples of your writing to our email modronmagazine@gmail.com with the subject line “ARTICLE PITCH”.

Article Guidelines

We are looking for articles between 750 and 1500 words, which have an ecological theme or are engaging with ecological crisis and/or climate emergency. Articles can deal with complex ideas but in an accessible way which can be understood by a large audience.

Types of articles might include:

  • Interviews with writers who are engaging with ecological crisis, especially writers who belong to groups traditionally marginalized in nature writing e.g. people of the global majority, queer writers, disabled writers, working class writers, and neurodiverse writers.
  • Book reviews with an ecological theme.
  • Articles about community projects that use the arts and culture to engage the public with climate emergency, especially projects in Wales.

We would also highlight that we are especially excited by particular themes and philosophical approaches. These include approaching nature as the more-than-human, considering other ways of regarding than world than Western ones, and theories of ecological justice.
