As you may know, The School Magazine, Australia’s iconic literary magazine for children, has a policy of accepting all unsolicited manuscripts.
This has led to the nurturing of many flourishing writing careers, as well as the chance for more established writers to experiment with short-form material.
The magazine has just announced a rate increase for fiction, articles and plays – welcome news indeed.
Writers who have been previously published by the magazine will notice a few changes:
The response time is much faster than it once was – a few weeks not a few months.
Writers are now paid on publication, not on acceptance.
The magazine asks for non-exclusive print and digital rights.
Copyright is still held by the writer.
