Before submitting, please take a moment to consider the following submission requirements. Jacaranda accepts works of fiction and non-fiction (up to 1,000 words in length), and poetry (up to 4 poems of no more than 50 lines each).

Anyone can submit for multiple Jacaranda Salons, however, you cannot submit more than two times consecutively. Upon submitting for two salons in a row, a mandatory non-submission period of at least one salon is required before your salon submissions will be considered again.
