Submissions
Our current publication schedule is March and October.
Forever Nocturne is actively looking for authors and artists to publish within the pages of our online magazine. Here, we support aspiring writers and artists. We look for new talent that is yet to be discovered. Is it you? If you think so, send your submission to forevernocturnezine@gmail.com. Please be sure that “Submission for e-zine” is in the subject line. Please do not send attachments, as they will be deleted, unless you are an artist submitting artwork, in which case you will need to add "Art" to the subject line. We ask that you place your submission in the body of the email and thank you for doing so. We also accept previously published authors. At this time, we cannot pay for the work we publish, as we are a FREE e-zine; however, we are working on it and may move into other areas.
First and foremost, all authors are expected to EDIT and PROOFREAD their work before submission. Of course, we will also read it, but it is in your best interest to make an outstanding first impression, as the work you send us is our first impression of you. Our editors are quite busy and are looking more for content and voice than misspellings and punctuation errors. If you require editing services, please take a look at our Editing page.
We are looking for new, innovative, eye-catching original tales and poetry. We are also looking for darker stories, so if you write horror or any of its subgenres, submit it and we'll take a look. This includes paranormal romance, urban fantasy, horror thriller, etc.
SUBMISSIONS
ALL WORK MUST BE ORIGINAL. WE DO NOT ACCEPT FAN FICTION.
SHORT STORIES: Short story submissions for the magazine, herein referred to as "the 'zine," should be 1,000 to 5,000 words in length.
POETRY: Obviously, there is no length on poetry submissions, but rather, content, unless of course it is in excess. If you have a specific format designed for your poetry, please be sure to tell us. This includes photos you would like to use, but PLEASE do not send photos until we ask for them, i.e. if we decide to publish your poetry, we will ask for them. We must have the ability to use the photos, as well. If you do not own the copyright to a photo, do not have permission to use the photo, or it is not of the free copyright variety, please do not send one. Otherwise, be sure it is in JPEG format when we ask for it.
NEWS ARTICLES: First, ask yourself this: is it newsworthy? Then, ask yourself this: am I an expert on this topic? Global warming, the war in Iraq or other places, the genocide in Darfur, the disregard of America's wildlife—these are the articles we would like to see. We do not want to read about Uncle Bob's trip to Cancun, unless something tragic happened while he was there. Was he thrown in jail? Why? All news articles must be researchable, and NL Gervasio LOVES research. Your opinion within the article is welcome, so long as it is not completely biased. Go read the BBC. It is the most unbiased news source out there. You must have the ability to see both sides of an argument in order to write something of caliber with your opinion involved.
WRITING ARTICLES: Do you have some writing advice for aspiring writers out there? If so, we'd love to see it.
ART/PHOTOS: We are looking for original works of art to display in our magazine. The work MUST be yours and we will research it. Please email us if you have something you would like to submit and be sure to add "Art" to the Subject line.

AT THIS TIME, WE ARE ONLY SEEKING SHORT STORY AND POETRY SUBMISSIONS.
COPYRIGHT: Authors maintain all copyright information for their work(s). They are able to submit to other companies while waiting for acceptance from Running Ink Press. If you submit a first work to us, we ask, upon acceptance of said work to have First North American Serial Rights* to the publication of said work.
Thank you.
* FIRST NORTH AMERICAN SERIAL RIGHTS: When an author grants a journal or magazine First North American Serial Rights to a story or poem, the periodical acquires the right to be the first publisher of the work in North America and for some time after the work appears in print-typically 60 to 90 days, or the length of time the issue with the author's work in it is "current"-no other journal is allowed to publish that same work. Afterward, an author, as holder of the copyright, is free to submit the work elsewhere.
