We specialize in original literary fiction, creative non-fiction, poetry, and visual art.
We ask that all submissions to Mnerva Literary Journal follow the guidelines below.

We only accept digital submissions sent through our email, mnerva@readthemike.com. Previously published submissions will not be considered, and artists may only submit 4 simultaneous submissions.

All written submissions must be formatted as either Microsoft Word Documents (.DOCX, .DOC ) or PDFs.

Visual submissions may be sent in either JPEG or PNG format.

Email formatting should be as followed:

Body of Email should include:
1. Author's name
2. Title of the work
3. Form or medium of the work
4. The word count 
5. A short author's biography written in the third person

We ask that the artist’s name not appear on the work submitted to Mnerva itself. All identifying information should be limited solely to the submission email.
