Submission Guidelines
Collier’s Magazine welcomes completed, exclusive submissions for publication consideration. We review a wide range of work, including essays, short stories in fiction and non-fiction, independent articles, excerpts from published or unpublished manuscripts, photography, illustrations and artwork.
Acceptable length of submissions varies based on type and topic, generally from 500–1,200 words — flexible when appropriate.
Submit content as a Microsoft Word document and include author’s full name, contact email, phone number, and date of submission. First-time contributors must also include a brief author bio and a headshot of the author that may or may not be included in publication.
Email submissions to: ColliersMagazine@LNNUSA.com
Permissions & Rights Policy for Submitted Works
Collier’s Magazine and LNN USA welcome submissions from writers and creators who wish to have their work considered for publication. This policy applies exclusively to content voluntarily submitted for editorial consideration and does not apply to paid, commissioned, or work-for-hire assignments.
All authors retain full rights and ownership to any original work they submit.
By submitting content for consideration, the author grants Collier’s Magazine and LNN USA a perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to print, republish, archive, and otherwise use the submitted material in any current or future format or production. This includes—but is not limited to—digital and print editions, promotional materials, anthologies, and any republication of archival content.
Because this license is non-exclusive, authors remain free to publish, license, or distribute their work elsewhere without limitation. Our goal is to encourage and promote writers while ensuring they maintain full control over their creative property.
