our categories: poetry, prose, creative non-fiction, art

At Luxury Literary Magazine, we have very few criteria that you need to meet to be published with us. However, we do ask that you follow these guidelines as strictly as possible in order to cultivate a safe, equal environment for us all. We do not have differing guidelines per issue, just general rules for all interested parties to follow. See them below.

1. Hate speech is not tolerated. We will not accept any work that promotes racism, religious discrimination, ableism, sexism, homophobia, or any other form of hate speech. If you have exhibited such behaviors in the past and/or have submitted a piece that was published by us that indicates such conduct, we reserve the full right to reject your piece henceforth. 
2. Please include content warnings if your piece contains sensitive material.
3. Do not submit your work via email, but only through the open submission document (linked below).
4. If you are submitting a multilingual submission, please ensure you include an English translation. 
5. You may submit only one piece of work per category. Poetry and prose pieces should be a maximum of one thousand words – if your piece is longer, contact us. We may make exceptions on a case-by-case basis.
6. We ask, for your own safety, not to include any identifying information in your work. Similarly, refrain from including defamatory content in your submission if referencing an individual.
7. Do not use artificial intelligence or generative tools in your work: we value your intellectual and creative labor.
8. We do accept previously published work, but please ensure you list the whereabouts of the publication and respect their guidelines regarding re-submissions. We do not consider removal requests following publication, but you are able to request a withdrawal at any point beforehand. Equally, we are amenable to simultaneous submissions also; if the other party gets back to you with acceptance before we do, please do let us know – we'd like to congratulate you!
9. Kindly note that submissions heavily dependent on specific visual formatting may be more difficult to accommodate in our publication format. 
10. All poetry/prose/creative non-fiction must be submitted as a PDF or a Google Document. All art submissions must be submitted in a PDF, PNG, or JPG format, and all works must be adequately labelled. please submit your works as individual files if you submit more than once. We accept all forms of work as long as it broadly fits under one of our four categories, listed above.

Thank you for your collaboration! We look forward to seeing your exceptional work.

By accepting publication with Luxury Literature Magazine (“LLM”), contributors grant LLM first worldwide publication rights to the accepted work, in both print (if applicable) and digital formats, including publication within the relevant issue of the magazine.

The contributor retains full copyright and ownership of their work at all times. Following its first publication by LLM, all exclusive publication rights revert to the contributor, who is free to republish, reproduce, adapt, submit, or otherwise use the work elsewhere. We kindly ask that subsequent publications acknowledge its first appearance in Luxury Literature Magazine.

Contributors additionally grant LLM a non-exclusive, perpetual archival licence to keep the published work available as part of the issue in which it originally appeared. This includes maintaining digital or physical archival copies, preserving past issues on LLM's website or associated platforms, and allowing readers continued access to the issue in its original published form. Removal of an individual work from an already published issue cannot ordinarily be guaranteed.

LLM is also granted a non-exclusive promotional licence to reproduce reasonable excerpts from, quotations from, thumbnails of, or images of the accepted work for the purpose of promoting the contributor, the relevant issue, or Luxury Literature Magazine. Such promotion may appear on LLM's website, newsletters, press materials, social-media accounts, advertisements, promotional graphics, or similar channels. LLM will not separately license, reproduce, or commercially exploit an individual contributor's work outside the magazine or its direct promotion without obtaining additional permission. For visual artwork and photography, this licence includes the right to reproduce the submitted image within the magazine and to crop, resize, or reformat it where reasonably necessary for editorial layout, digital display, or promotional materials. LLM will not materially alter the substance of an artwork without the contributor's permission.

For written work, LLM reserves the right to make minor copyedits relating to spelling, grammar, punctuation, house style, typography, and formatting. Any edit that materially changes the meaning, voice, structure, or substance of a piece will be discussed with the contributor before publication. Where a contributor submits both an original-language work and an English translation, the contributor grants LLM the same publication rights to each version accepted for publication. Contributors must have the authority to grant publication rights for any translation submitted.

By agreeing to publication, the contributor confirms that:

• they are the creator of the work, or otherwise possess the rights necessary to authorise its publication;
• the work does not knowingly infringe another person's copyright, privacy, publicity, or other legal rights;
• any quotations, images, translations, or third-party material requiring permission have been appropriately cleared;
• the work has not previously been published where doing so would conflict with the first-publication rights granted to LLM;
• the submission complies with LLM's stated submission policies, including its policy regarding AI-generated creative work.

Contributors remain responsible for the originality and legal status of material they submit.

Copyright remains with the contributor. Publication by Luxury Literature Magazine does not constitute a transfer or assignment of copyright.

Where reasonably practicable, LLM will credit contributors using the name or pseudonym supplied for publication. Contributors may identify themselves as having been published by LLM and may reproduce reasonable images or excerpts of their published pages for personal portfolios, websites, CVs, and promotional purposes. Unless a separate written agreement states otherwise, publication does not grant LLM adaptation, translation, film, dramatic, audio, merchandising, or other subsidiary rights.
