PSA: We only read submissions sent to us during open submission periods. Any submissions sent to us outside of those times will immediately be cast into the oubliette and may never get seen.

To avoid this terrible fate, please make sure you are only submitting during open periods.

The submission window for Silver Apples Magazine’s
Redemption Three: This Time It’s Person is now open

Submission details here.


The Deets (aka the Technical Stuff)

All submissions MUST be original, previously unpublished works (however, if a piece was previously published on a personal blog we will consider it as long as you make this fact known to us). Plagiarism will not be tolerated and is punishable by death. That's how we feel about it anyway.

We accept submissions in all genres—including genres that many other publications overlook such as horror, science fiction, fantasy, children's literature, graphic novel art, anything you can think of. If your work resonates with us, we will publish it!

We strongly recommend you have a read of our previous issues, to see the type of pieces we are inclined to accept. Think, quirky with a sense of fun and humour. Much like ourselves.

  • Please email all submissions to silverapplesmag@gmail.com with the header “Submission” followed by the type of submission and the title of your piece. E.g. Submission: Poetry – Rain on the Windowpane

  • Please also include a short bio (max 50 words).

  • Submit file as a .doc or .docx attachment, double spaced, Times New Roman, 12 point font.

  • Name file by title of piece.

  • We will accept 2 short story, creative non-fiction and one-act play submissions per author, with a maximum word count of 3,000 words for each piece.

  • We will accept up to 3 poetry submissions.

Each submission must be saved to a separate Word document and the file must be clearly named. We are sorry but we do not accept simultaneous submissions. If you have submitted elsewhere please do not send us your work for consideration. We hate choosing work we love, only to have it taken away. It's like you're teasing us with chocolate during Lent.

Copyright (aka the Legal Stuff)

The author, artist, photographer etc. retains copyright of his/her individual piece, however, Silver Apples Magazine has the right of first publication. If your work is later published elsewhere, we would appreciate it if you would mention that it was previously published by Silver Apples Magazine (we want to get our name out there and let the world know the quality of our contributors).

Payment at Silver Apples

We at Silver Apples believe that art should be paid for. Gone are the days where artists could pay themselves with exposure. We are all trying to make our own way in this big bad world. That being said, we want published submitters to brag about and support our magazine as much as we brag about and support them.

At this point, we are only able to offer published artists a token payment. Said token payment only applies to regular open submission periods—when it comes to our writing competition periods, prize money goes to the winners.

Happy Submitting!
