Submission Guidelines

  • Liberties accepts proposals and submissions for essays. We accept poetry submissions.
  • For all proposals and submissions, please email [email protected] or mail to Liberties Journal, 1101 30th Street NW, Suite 310, Washington, DC, 20007, ATTN: Editorial.
  • For poetry submissions: please send us several poems. We usually publish between three to five poems by a poet so that our readers will have a richer acquaintance with their work. We welcome poems of any length. We also are committed to publishing poems in translation.
  • We will respond to submissions as swiftly as possible. Be mindful of the fact that Liberties is a quarterly publication with an editorial staff of two. We do not have the capacity to respond with alacrity to all submission queries. Please be patient. Emailing repeatedly will have the same effect as pressing an elevator button repeatedly.
  • We know that writers cannot afford to subscribe to every publication to which they send proposals and submissions, but we must assume if you want us to publish your work it is because you are familiar with the kind of work we publish. Check the Free Preview feature on our website for examples of the essays that appear in our pages.
  • Liberties does not publish reviews. The world already has plenty of them. But we are happy to consider, and frequently to publish, essays that use books, films, art exhibitions, music, plays, etc. as occasions for larger themes and ideas.
  • We are keenly interested in discovering and welcoming new writers.
