Freelance writing, Planet Magazine, pays £50.00 per 1,000 words/ £30.00 per poem

Planet is a quarterly cultural and political magazine that looks at Wales from an international perspective, and at the world from the standpoint of Wales.

The magazine publishes high-quality writing, artwork and photography by established and emerging figures, and covers subjects across the arts, literature, current events, politics, social justice questions, minority language and culture, and the environment – and much more.

Planet enjoys a vibrant and diverse international readership, and as the leading English-language journal of Wales is read by all key figures in the Welsh political cultural scene.

Submission Guidelines

Most of the material in Planet is commissioned, but we are willing to consider ideas for articles or reviews, and we accept unsolicited submissions of fiction and poetry.

For articles and reviews, please familiarise yourself with the magazine before contacting us. In the first instance, send an email to the address below with a brief synopsis of any proposed article.

Please feel free to submit poetry (4-6 poems) or short fiction (up to 4,000 words). We are particularly interested in seeing work that connects in some way with the broad range of issues and concerns of the magazine. We aim to respond within 3 months, and sooner if the matter is time-sensitive.

We accept hardcopy and email submissions. Hardcopy should be typed and will not be considered unless accompanied by a stamped addressed envelope or sufficient International Reply Coupons to cover return postage. For overseas submissions, please note that 1 IRC is sufficient only for a reply letter. Please do not send originals.

Fees are £50.00 per 1,000 words for prose and a minimum of £30.00 per poem. Payment is made on publication.

If your hardcopy submission is accepted for publication, you will need to send it in digital form, either on disc or as an email attachment as a Word or RTF file.
