Submissions
(...MUST BE ASIA-RELATED!)
Kyoto Journal attracts an amazing diversity of unsolicited articles, essays, reportage, personal observations, interviews, poetry, reviews, fiction, humor, and translation (or various combinations of the above).
Fine illustrators, photographers, painters, printmakers, and calligraphers also make their work available, giving KJ its very distinctive visual identity.
While we do actively seek out specific material for our special theme issues, unsolicited submissions are very welcome, and are an essential part of our approach to assembling the magazine.
Since KJ is non-profit and all volunteer produced, our contributors too are unpaid. As a token of our sincere appreciation, we do provide a free one-year subscription to anyone whose work is published.
Format: Articles / essays / fiction / poetry / translation submissions should be sent by e-mail (Microsoft Word file attachment is our preferred format, due to its very useful Track Changes and embedded Comments functions – please name files KJ[category]your surname month year.doc).... If sending by "snail mail," please include an e-mail contact address if possible. Please note that we do not return postal submissions.
Regarding style and format etc, we have compiled a page of Guidelines for Writing Articles for KJ, and a brief list of KJ Style Conventions.
Response time: Since the editors are all volunteers with day jobs and family commitments, there may be some delay in our submissions process. If after submitting work, you do not hear back from us within six weeks or so, please feel free to send us a reminder.
