Merganser Magazine is a free online literary magazine, featuring an array of fiction, poetry, and visual art.
Debuting in winter 2024, we aim to publish many writers and artists whose work transcends disciplines and genres.
We are now accepting submissions - we encourage you to submit!
Please submit fiction, non-fiction, and poetry by email to Jake Ott at editor@mergansermagazine.com.
Standard formats are preferred (e.g. standard manuscript format), but not strictly required.
No word limits or hard editorial guidelines; we're eager to find strong pieces across a wide range of material.
For prose, we pay the SFWA standard rate $0.08 USD per word. For poetry, we pay $1 USD per line.
