Tamarind Literary Magazine Issue 3 & 4 Submissions Open: fiction & non-fiction about science and scientists, 1,500+ words

TAMARIND is a semi-annual literary magazine published in both print and as a digital download carrying fiction and non-fiction relating to science, scientists, and the interaction between science and society.

We publish creative non-fiction and fiction about science, scientists, and the interaction of science and society. You can find us on Instagram & Twitter @tamarindlitmag and our [editors' bios are here](https://tamarindlit.co.uk/about/). We're currently accepting fiction and non-fiction submissions for Issue 4 (published in November) and we're also still looking for non-fiction pieces for Issue 3 (published in May).

Pieces should be between 1,500 to 5,000 words long and we accept simultaneous and multiple submissions. We don’t require first or exclusive rights to your work (though naturally if it is unpublished we will end up with first rights). We're sadly not accepting poetry because none of us feel qualified to judge it.

**Fiction**: we'd like stories that have realistic portrayals of science, scientists, and their impact on society. This includes things like [Lab-lit](http://www.lablit.com/) and sci-fi with a more literary bend to it. As another example, take a look at *[(Nothing but) Art](http://sciencechallenge.org/2019-winners/leroi-ic-1.pdf)* written by our fiction editor.

**Non-fiction**: we accept submissions for essays about the interaction of science with society and histories and biographies of science and scientists.

Rule 11 info:

1. We pay in royalties as a profit sharing scheme with 100% of profits are distributed equally between all contributors (editors are unpaid volunteers). Having said that, please have realistic expectations what with us being new. I'm personally paying for web hosting and marketing so that won't be included in calculations.

2. We operate a rolling submissions system, so submissions are always open. The last date to be considered for Issue 3 is the end of February and for Issue 4 will be the end of July.

3. We ask that authors whose work we publish grant us rights to publish their work under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.0 UK: England & Wales licence, subject to the royalties noted above. This is the same licence that [Structo magazine](https://structomagazine.co.uk/) uses.
