Kill Your Darlings accepts submissions of original writing during the months of March, June and September and December ONLY.

Previously published material will not be considered. Kill Your Darlings publishes fiction, feature articles and investigative journalism, essays and other creative non-fiction. Reviews of contemporary books, theatre, music and film are also welcomed. We are particularly interested in retrospectives.

Kill Your Darlings enjoys reading work that has a fresh, intelligent angle, is anecdotal yet informed, or is just a little bit cheeky. We encourage our contributors to explore alternative viewpoints. There are no distinct themes for general submissions and no word limits.

Please only send us your best work. We strongly encourage contributors to familiarise themselves with Kill Your Darlings prior to submission.

Kill Your Darlings pays its contributors.

Submissions should have:

• 1.5 line spacing
• Times New Roman font, size 12 point
• an attached cover letter, containing your name, all contact information and
• the title of your submission

We only accept submissions attached as a Word document and emailed to submissions@killyourdarlingsjournal.com

We encourage those who wish to submit essays, feature articles or reviews to email a one-page pitch to info@killyourdarlingsjournal.com before submitting.
