These are frequently asked questions for submitting to Arcturus.

Q: What types of works/ arts will be considered for publication?

A: All creative written works (poetry, short-stories, memoirs, etc.) and visual works (sketches, paintings, digital/ mixed media, photography). We also accept short films, animation, original music, and long works of prose in our Online Exclusives section.

Q: Can I make multiple submissions?

A: Yes, you may make multiple submissions; however, we at Arcturus will prioritize publishing a wide scope of voices.

Q: Is there a required level of skill for a submission to be considered?

A: No prior experience or training is required; all creative works of any level of skill are welcome. Here is your chance to make your voice heard!

Q: Can I use AI tools in the creation of my work?

A: No, given its problematic nature in terms of the societal, political, philosophical, creative and environmental impact, any submission created with the use of AI, LLMs, machine learning, etc. will be swiftly rejected. We strongly recommend that you don't use AI to proof read your work, but this will not be grounds for automatic rejection.

Q: Will we be publishing non-English works?

A: Yes, being dedicated to publishing all voices Arcturus welcome all creative works; however, we do ask that you attach a rough translation in your work along side the original.

Q: When will we know that our work has been accepted?

A: You will typically be notified by the beginning of May each year. Each new issue will be published in the beginning of June.
