 Submission Guidelines
Flax is committed to publishing NW writers, this means any writer who lives or works in the ACE NW arts region.

We only publish work that has not been published previously, either in print or on the web. (NB: On the web refers to work that has been selected by an external editor. We are happy to read work you have posted on your own site or networking page)

You’ll notice that we do not ask for work that is of a particular theme.

You might find the advice here really useful. There is more stuff here

Please note the submission dates. We will only consider work that arrives within the dates given. This is to preserve our sanity.

We will let you know of our decision as soon as we can (usually within a month of the close of submissions).

All writers in our digital anthologies have profiles on the Flax site, which includes professional portraits which you can use for your own publicity purposes. You're also offered a one-to-one session on your professional development. By submitting work to an anthology you are agreeing to travel to the office in Lancaster for these.
