Jacaranda Journal keeps submissions open year round for works of fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and visual art published straight to JJ Online.
Please read our submission guidelines below before submitting your work.
Written submission guidelines
Before submitting, please take a moment to consider the following submission requirements. Jacaranda Journal accepts works of fiction and non-fiction (up to 2,500 words in length), and poetry (up to 4 poems of no more than 75 lines each) from Australian writers.
We ask that written submissions be formatted in the following way:

-
docx. or pdf.
-
Labelled with name and type (e.g. JaneDoe_Poetry OR JohnDoe_Fiction).

Please flag content where necessary.
Maximum word lengths are a guide. If your piece falls a little outside of these guidelines, but is a good fit for Jacaranda, it will still be considered. Anyone can submit to Jacaranda Journal multiple times, excluding the winners of our competitions.
Visual art submission guidelines
Before submitting, please take a moment to consider the following submission requirements. Jacaranda Journal accepts works of photography and art (up to 8 pieces) from Australian artists.
We ask that visual art is submitted in the following way:
-
png. or pdf.

Labelled with title of the piece and artist name (e.g. LakeHeart_JaneDoe).

Please flag content where necessary.
AI guidelines
AI is strictly prohibited.
We ask that, alongside visual art submissions, there is appropriate evidence supplied of authenticity, such as art progress pictures, photos from different angles, or other photos of the same subject (other photos provided for proof do not need to be high quality and won't be judged for submission). For digital art, you may additionally be asked to provide a recording of layers.
For all submissions, we utilise AI detection rubrics.
Authenticity evidence should be sent to the jacarandajournalsubmissions@gmail.com while the visual art is submitted via the form below. Please include the submission title and 'evidence' in the email subject line (e.g. LakeHeart Evidence).
