SHALLA Magazine features high quality fiction (experimental, literary, genre, multicultural, etc), poetry, essays, excerpts from screenplays, one act-plays, etc.

Although we mainly publish literary work, our submissions system is open to all forms of writing that have been previously published.

That’s right, we only like reprints. Please tell us where and when it has been published before. By submitting to SHALLA Magazine, you are guaranteeing that all rights to the work have already reverted back to you.

*We especially like award-winning work.*

• Please title your email: SUBMISSIONS: “(title of your work)” –“(word count)”-"(genre)"

Work is first scanned by one of our acquiring editors, if it passes that phase, it goes to our guest assistant editors, if it passes that phase, it goes to one of our guest editors, if it passes that it goes to one of our editors, then to Shalla DeGuzman.
