Here at Ink N Quill, we are passionate about empowering the voices of the marginalised communities we serve. To do this, we invite you to respond to our calls for submissions, which inspire critical engagement and offer a home for your work!
If you are reading this page, then we take it that you have already read the submission guidelines. For a smoother experience, we recommend that you open those on a separate page and work through them systematically to make sure you have the best chances of success. For the magazine, we have two different issues:
Seasonal issues: these issues, published on the 21st of the relevant season, consider a wider array of previously unpublished work that is seeking a home. These issues are loosely themed around the changing seasons and provide a space for writers to come together.
Occasional themed issues: Issues are published when there is an identified need. If there is a specific topic we feel needs more attention, or something our community suggests, we may make an issue specifically for this type of writing.
After successful publication, writers are offered a place on the Writers Den podcast to further amplify their reach. With three issues already published, we cannot wait to hear your submission.
Due to the volume of submissions we receive, we caution that if you do not follow these guidelines, we won’t be able to consider your submission.
We can’t wait to hear from you!

Assorted Ink N Quills
Calling all intersectional writers for a publication for all of your odds and ends — pieces which have not found their rightful home quite yet, pieces which don’t fit an exact theme, or maybe defy categorisation altogether. We love those bold pieces of work which can’t be put into categories!
Maybe you have developed a piece that hasn't found a place to call home, or maybe you aren't interested in our themed issues (we understand that all writers have different strengths, so this issue is a chance for you to shine!). For this series of issues, we accept pieces on all themes, but are interested in ones that push the boundaries of form or theme by intersectional writers.
Open from November 1st until January 31st, Assorted Ink N Quills is the perfect home for all of your ideas that aren’t within the confines of a radical space, which champions the diverse, genre-bending forms of printed visual expression.
We are calling upon writers of fiction, non-fiction, and hybrid forms, poets, photographers, and artists for a publication which celebrates all different pieces of work from all different intersectional writers to bring themselves forward. Maybe you want to write a short story, send us your photography or art of an experience, or an explorative narrative essay on your own experiences. Something which combines any of these would be more than welcome!
To find more about the process, please check our website.
We ask that, if you use images, they have image descriptors or IDs to aid accessibility
Here at InkNQuill, we want to know about all of the work you have been producing and everything that hasn’t found its rightful home, and we will do our best to help give it the home it deserves.
