Damazine is a new online literary journal publishing fiction, poetry, and essays. We focus on authors based in or with ties to the Muslim world in the largest sense. At the same time, we strive to present a rainbow of themes and writing styles. Our biggest criterion is quality. We are looking for powerful, well-crafted pieces that throb with meaning.

Poetry may be rhyme or free verse. No more than five poems per submission. Send poetry to poetry@damazine.com.

Fiction should have vivid characters and an original plot. Length should be 1,000-5,000 words. Send fiction to fiction@damazine.com.

Essays should be immediate and draw the reader in. We are not looking for political analysis or abstract theory.  Length should be 1,000-5,000 words. Send essays to essays@damazine.com.

Damazine publishes quarterly and is open for submissions year-round. Please send your submission, in the body of an email message or as a Word attachment, to the appropriate address specified above. The email message must include the word "Sub" in the subject line to prevent our spam filter from deleting it. Also include your full name, general location, and an optional short bio in the body of your message.

Submissions must be previously unpublished. We only publish submissions written in the English language. Simultaneous submissions are allowed but please notify us immediately if your work is accepted elsewhere. We offer $25 USD per published story or essay, and $10 USD per poem.
