SOME IMPORTANT NOTES FOR ALL AUTHORS
October Hill Magazine will not publish any material of a pornographic, erotic or abusive nature; gratuitous profanity; or gratuitous descriptions of violence or abusive remarks toward women, members of any religious or ethnic group, people of any sexual orientation, or animals. Any material violating these guidelines will automatically be rejected for publication.
We seek to publish new and imaginative work. All authors who submit their work for consideration represent to us that they are the sole original authors of that work; that the work has never appeared in another publication, either in print or online (including blogs); and that they shall hold October Hill Magazine blameless for any violation of copyright law unknown to the editors of the magazine at the time of publication. Authors further agree to grant October Hill Magazine the right to reprint all short stories or poems accepted for publication in any future anthology or collection of work for a period of up to one (1) year. After such period, the exclusive copyright reverts to the author.
If we accept your work for publication, we will edit to correct typographical and spelling errors and grammatical mistakes, but will respect the content and literary style of your work. Written work laden with a careless disregard for spelling, punctuation and grammar will be rejected automatically.
October Hill Magazine does not compensate writers or illustrators accepted for publication. However, writers are encouraged to submit their work for consideration when we have another Contest Issue, in which those selected for awards will receive monetary prizes and special recognition.
