Submissions are now being invited for Idiom 23 Issue # 30
Idiom 23 publishes original short stories, poems and articles. Black and white photographs and artwork are also welcome. The magazine has a rich history of celebrating regional living and multiculturalism in the Central Queensland region, and each issue is themed around our yearly writing workshop.
Idiom 23 is not limited to a particular viewpoint and hopes to encourage and publish a broad spectrum of writing. As we aim to provide opportunity for emerging and established writers alike, the collective asks that short story submissions, articles and essays be limited to 3000 words, and poetry submissions to 1 page in length, in order to present the most diverse sample of literary merit possible in our limited pages.

- All fiction and non-fiction submissions must be limited to 3000 words or less, and poetry to one page or less.
- Each contributor should limit their submissions to three comprising any mixture of writing and artwork, submitted as separate attachments in .rtf or .doc form for textual submissions and artwork in .jpg or .png format.
- Multiple submissions must be made in separate individual rtf. or .doc files (multiple submissions in a single rtf. or .doc file may not be considered).
- Please use the photo release form.
- Please do not submit images over 300kb.
- All literary submissions should be in 12 point Times New Roman font and 1.5 spaced. Submissions must use Harvard style formatting and referencing (where relevant) see: https://delivery-cqucontenthub.stylelabs.cloud/api/public/content/harvard-referencing-style.pdf?v=306efe7e

Please bear in mind that your submission must include a short biography (written in the third person). The editorial team cannot do this for you. Remember, if submitting more than one piece, please ensure that you submit each piece on a separate individual document. We will contact you following the review process and appreciate your patience as we undertake this work, which can often be time consuming. A member of the editorial team will communicate with you via email in due course. Thank you again for submitting to Idiom23.
