World Ember’s magazines are published by World Publishing Company. The monthly ‘Culture’ issues feature fiction, poetry, art, music, history, and more while the bi-monthly ‘Lifestyle’ issues discuss travel, food, fashion, design, health & fitness, and lots more.
Our magazines will be available for free through subscription, and across various online platforms and magazine stands. We accept submissions for fiction, non-fiction, and poetry from both established and aspiring authors. For specifics, please refer to our individual submission calls.
The rest of your writing career is just one submission away!
Please do read the submission guidelines carefully and thoroughly to enhance the chances of having your submissions accepted for World Ember publications.
We welcome to the World of Ember writers from all across the globe, and accept submissions in all genres and writing styles. However, we do reserve the right to reject any subject which we deem to not be appropriate for our publication[s].
Each individual submission call shall include detailed information for:
Word Count
Deadline
Author Compensation
All submissions must be in English.
Content for which we enforce a zero-tolerance policy includes:
Bestiality - We reject any work related to bestiality, unless of course you are writing about werewolves or similar creatures in fiction.
Erotica - We do not accept erotica, period.
Graphic Non-Con Sex - It is never OK but where necessary, use it sparingly.
The following formatting requirements are more or less industry-standard – and our preference:
Manuscript Format - .doc/.docx only

Spacing - Double Line | Single Space between Sentences
Scene Breaks - ***

Please include the story/article title and word count in the header section of your manuscript.
Note:
