At Jenny, we work to publish a solid mixture of pieces and authors, from both local areas and not-so-local. We are looking for a broad range of your best polished work. We ask that if you are submitting to Jenny, you carefully read through the guidelines for the specific category you are submitting to.

Issue 23: Open Issue

From the start, Jenny Magazine has been a literary magazine that aims to place the voices of writers from the Mahoning Valley alongside those of writers from around the world. Our 2025 issue will be Open Submissions, so simply send us your best work in any of the categories we publish (Fiction, Poetry, Creative Nonfiction, and Visual Art). 

We accept previously unpublished written work.  All rights revert back to the author/artist after publication of the issue.

The average response time on submissions is 6-12 weeks after the submission period closes.

General Guidelines:

  • Submitters can send work to more than one category so long as each category's guidelines are followed.
  • Submissions are blind. Do not include any identifying information on your submission — that's what the submission form and cover letter are for.
  • Formatting for all pieces should be in Times New Roman, 12 pt. font.
  • Prose submissions should be double spaced.
  • Failure to follow any guidelines will disqualify your submission.

Though we greatly appreciate all of our contributors, Jenny unfortunately cannot pay its contributors at this time.
