Welcome to Ars Literica! We are excited to announce our No.1 Spring 2025 issue of Ars Literica.

At Ars Literica, we do not limit your writing to any form, topic, or genre. In general, we are looking for works that show meditation/passion for life, society, and/or literature. 

For publication in Ars Literica, we consider:

  • Artworks

Please 12-point-type, double-spaced (except for poetry), and submit your work as a Microsoft Word or PDF file to our portal.

You may submit multiple works to one issue, but should only submit one work one time to our submission portal. Please do not submit more than 2 works in a single genre. 

Deadline to Submission: Early April.

We do not accept revisions to submissions after the deadline. Do not send new drafts unless requested to do so by an editor. 

We read every submission, and you will receive response from our editors within 2 weeks of your submission. Feel free to contact us should you have any questions regarding submission or publication.
