Rough Guide To Presentation

Form of submission

The London Magazine has recently undergone a change of ownership. As a result of this, some submissions may have been lost. If you have sent us submissions, and are yet to have a response you are welcome to re-send them to our new address. We accept ideas for art reviews, memoir pieces, fiction, poetry and poetry reviews. We do prefer e-mail, with the poems or stories to be sent in the body of the email, as well as in attachment. Please send your submissions to admin@thelondonmagazine.net. All postal submissions must be accompanied by a stamped and addressed envelope. Sufficient international reply-paid coupons must be enclosed, if work is required to be returned. In general, a mimimum of 3 coupons is necessary for type-scripts of 5 A5 pages. We regret that we are unable to give feedback on rejected work, due to the number of submissions that we receive.

Please send all postal submissions and/or enquiries to: The London Magazine, Flat 5, 11 Queen's Gate, London, SW7 5EL.

When commissioned, submissions should be sent by e-mail as a .doc file attached to a covering message. No file should be larger than 500k. If your work is larger, please compress it with a package such as WinZip or similar. We also accept floppy disks and CD-ROMs. Images should be submitted in .TIFF format, maximum size A5 @ 600dpi. Please note: there will be NO colour reproduction in the magazine apart from the front cover.

If you use a Mac computer, please ensure that you send a file which can be opened and read by our PC equipment. If you send a floppy disk, you will need to ensure that it is formatted to be read by a PC. There are usually no difficulties in reading CDs.
