Gutter is a magazine of new Scottish and international writing. We welcome submissions of poetry and prose and will consider drama.
For prose, we accept both fiction and creative non-fiction.
Submissions can consist of up to a maximum of five poems totalling no more than 120 lines, or prose up to 3000 words (this can be just one, or multiple stories, but no more than 3000 words in total).
Successful contributors will be paid a flat fee of £25 for work published in the mag, regardless of length or style.
We particularly encourage the submission of work from writers who are underrepresented in literary publications: writers of colour, writers with lived experience of multiple socio-economic deprivation, writers from marginalised ethnic and national groups, LGBTQ writers, and those writing in minority languages.
Gutter is invested in Scotland’s literary culture, but strives to look outwards - international writing is included in every issue.
