General Guidelines
We encourage original submissions in poetry, visual arts, reviews, interviews, and essay / memoir / creative nonfiction. You may submit in more than one category, but please use the appropriate forms. We make room as we are able for fiction; please email us to see if your fiction piece might find a place here. voicesdelaluna22@gmail.com
Yanaguana is published in electronic format twice a year: Fall/Winter and Spring/Summer. Work we accept for Yanaguana is typically published in the next available issue. Please be aware of the submission deadlines for each issue.
If we accept your work we will request electronic rights. Rights return to the author after publication.
Please also let us know if you are submitting your work elsewhere.
Poetry
Send up to three poems, as you interpret or are inspired by the theme of the issue, in a single Word or PDF document.
Formatting
We do our best to honor creative formats and fonts; always include instructions with your work if you wish us to retain special formatting, and for such formatting it is a good idea to include a pdf or image (if you are able to make one!) so we can more easily understand your intentions.
AI
We recognize that AI permeates our culture. We choose to publish authentic works only and ask that you please disclose any use of Artificial Intelligence in your work and in which ways AI may have contributed to your work. If your work is found to be AI assisted and not disclosed, we will not publish it.
