You have entered the magical submission portal for our 2026 Unthemed Anthology.
Send us your most unique fiction, poetry, nonfiction, and your experimental works. We want something that has not been done before or that no one else can write except you.
-We accept previously published content so long as you have the rights to republish it & include where it was previously published.
-Simultaneous submissions welcomed.
-We do not accept any AI-generated or AI-prompted, or any AI-created submissions.
-Do not include personal identifying information in the content or title of the submissions. This will result in immediate disqualification.
-SAVE DOCUMENTS WITH TITLES OF YOUR WORK, NOT UNICORN TEETH SUBMISSION (OR VARIANTS OF).
Fiction: any speculative and nonspeculative genre. Must be a short story, otherwise, sky's the limit on length.
Poetry: experimental forms, traditional forms, and no forms are all welcomed. No length requirements.
Nonfiction: any creative nonfiction and not-creative nonfiction. No length requirements.
Experimental: a category where you don't quite fit into any. Could be hybrid or avant-garde. No length requirements.
Failure to adhere to the guidelines will result in an immediate disqualification.
AUTHOR AGREEMENT:
A part of the Unicorn Teeth's mission is to provide opportunities for new editors to build an editorial portfolio and experience. In the instance your work has been accepted for publication, one of our editors will work with you on your manuscript with edits ranging from developmental edits to just copyedits/proofing. As the author, you will have final say on how the manuscript appears when published, meaning all editorial remarks are suggestions, not demands.
PRINTING AND PUBLISHING RIGHTS:
Unicorn Teeth Magazine reserves archival rights for digital ebooks and print books. Rights works revert back to the authors upon publication. If you need to pull your work from the anthology (for a contest or whatever reason), let us know and we'll update.
Unicorn Teeth Magazine cannot offer monetary payments for published works at this time, though we hope to one day. All published authors will receive both a PDF and an ePUB of the anthologies they are published in, and be able to purchase print copies of the anthology for cost-of-production-only. Additionally, Unicorn Teeth Magazine will champion its authors on social media, the Iridian Jawbone blog, and online release parties/readings.
BIGOTRY, SLURS, AND/OR HATE SPEECH OF ANY KIND WILL GET YOUR SUBMISSION(S) IMMEDIATELY DISQUALIFIED:
Please note Unicorn Teeth Magazine has a zero-tolerance policy on white supremacy, colonialism, bigotry, ableism, discrimination, and queerphobia, ai prompted, inspired, or generated works. This is explicitly a magazine that believes in the rights and liberation of all indigenous peoples, including Palestinians. If you oppose the "land back" movement and other forms of discrimination, it is highly recommended you don't submit materials to us to avoid your work being removed from publication. We reserve the rights to pull any work from a submitter that is an advocate of harm and hate. Any messages attempting to contest this will also be blocked and blacklisted. Unicorn Teeth Magazine is NOT going to debate if people should have rights.
TIMELINE CHANGES AND UPDATES:
Submissions open September 1st-October 31st.
After receiving so many submissions for our previous anthologies, we have to adjust our acceptance/rejection policy.
If accepted, you will be emailed between November 20th-30th (we are in the Chicago Central Time Zone, USA for our global submitters).
If you haven't received an email after November 30th, you did not get in.
FUNDRAISING:
With every anthology, we hope to raise funds for important global causes. Proceeds from the anthology will be fundraised for
Denizens Society Global which focuses on children displaced by war and displacement (genocide).
