The Pope's New Friend.

Here's the inside scoop on a new open submissions call by a top-notch literary magazine!

Cavalier Literary Couture, a new online and print publication that places emphasis on fine writing by emerging and established authors, wants you to submit your best unpublished literature! Cavalier is a lifestyle brand, in addition to being a golden literary venue for wonderful writing. It will launch its first print issue in January 2010, starting off the new year with a big bang! The hype has been building up for several months in New York City, but it's time for the entire literary world to hear. The Editors highly recommend submitting unpublished fiction, non-fiction, and poetry to Cavalier, through the very simple Submissions tool on the main website http://www.cavalierliterarycouture.com/. Good luck!

Best,

The Editors

Submission Guidelines

The Editors of Ex Cathedra Literary Magazine seek the finest unpublished poetry and prose.

- - -

Ex Cathedra is by no means a religious literary magazine. In fact, it is much more of an unholy magazine, never traditional and always unique in its modernity. It is published twice per year on this blog by two Columbia University students whose wish it is to bring the talents of emerging and established writers to all those who seek the rewards of fine literature.

Religious submissions, or any submissions favoring one religion or god, are highly discouraged, though not blatantly uninvited. Overtly offensive or obscene literature will not be considered. The Editors reserve the right to select what they feel deserves to be published in Ex Cathedra. The Editors are very strict on the Submission Guidelines, to which submissions must be adhered in order to be considered for publication. Queries are unacceptable unless the Editors have not responded within two months. Otherwise, the Editors discard queries like it’s their job.

Submissions for poetry and prose will be reviewed if sent to fromthechair@gmail.com. Writers must include a short biography in the e-mail, as well as copy-and-paste the literature into the body text of the e-mail, as they would like to see the work(s) appear in publication. The Editors will not open any e-mail submissions with attachments. In fact, for every one (1) submission they receive containing an attachment, the Editors will refuse to recycle paper for an entire week. Only original, unpublished work will be considered for publication in Ex Cathedra. Simultaneous submissions are not acceptable, as response time is within two (2) months. Unsolicited submissions are always welcome, since new literary voices are always appreciated.

Poetry submissions should be clearly identified, with the e-mail subject line reading "Poetry Submission: Author's Last Name, Author's First Name." The limit for Poetry submissions is five (5) poems per submission, regardless of length, unless otherwise noted.

Prose submissions should also be clearly identified, more specifically as either fiction or non-fiction, with the e-mail subject reading "Fiction/Non-Fiction Submission: Author's Last Name, Author's First Name." The limit for Fiction/Non-Fiction submissions is two (2) pieces of prose per submission, and a maximum of twenty (20) double-spaced pages.

Ex Cathedra obtains first North American rights upon publication, and reserves the right to publish the works in anthologies, as well as maintain the works in electronic and print archives. All rights revert to the authors upon publication in Ex Cathedra, and the works can then be subsequently published, though the Editors ask that Ex Cathedra receives appropriate credit as the place of initial publication.

Ex Cathedra publishes only the finest works of established writers, alongside the finest works of emerging writers. It seeks to provide exposure for literary artists whose work has a tendency to play with the complexity of the human mind.

Ex Cathedra is currently unable to offer any financial compensation or incentive for submissions or accepted work, though the Editors will do their best to promote all of the authors published in Ex Cathedra.

Submissions to Ex Cathedra are considered year-round, on a rolling basis, and do not generally follow any specific genre, theme, or topic. Ex Cathedra is published twice annually. Only the finest and most exceptional work will be accepted, though persistence from writers is highly encouraged. Good luck, and do stay tuned for more utterly remarkable literature.
