When we say unpublished we mean completely original, never been on your blog, never been on a website and certainly never been in print.

Due to the amount of submissions we receive, we are only able to print about three per cent of the work that comes through our door. So how do you get into that narrow band?

First, get to know Ambit before you submit. Is your work a good fit? What sort of thing does Ambit print? Buy a copy to find out . . .

If you decide your work is right for us then log on to our submissions portal and send us up to 5 poems in one Word document, or 1 story up to 5000 words in length. We’re very enthusiastic about flash and very short fiction too which is under 1000 words that have not been published elsewhere including blogs and internet. Our portal opens twice a year on 1st of February and 1st of September. See Submittable for full details.

Please include your postal address, phone number  in your cover letter. For fiction please include the word count of your submission.
