Anklebiters Journal is a DIY literary, arts, sounds, and video cacophony published once a year. Anklebiters publishes each journal under a different title.

If you would like to submit to Anklebiters Journal, please see online issues to get a feel and carefully review the guidelines below.

• Anklebiters Journal is published once a year.
• You can send work anytime.
• Anklebiters solicits work from known artists, but always leaves room for submissions, too.
• Please allow plenty of time for a response. Anklebiters will let you know that your work was received within a month, but the acceptance or rejection of your work may come up to 2 months later.
• Please do not submit work that has already been published by you or anyone else.
• Simultaneous submissions are welcome, just let Anklebiters know if your work is accepted elsewhere.
• At no point does Anklebiters “own” your work, but if you go on to publish it again, pretty please mention it appeared in Anklebiters Journal.
• If your work is accepted, you will receive a free copy of the print edition. The print editions of Anklebiters Journal are sold to cover the cost of materials and machine maintenance to make them, not to make a profit. The purpose of Anklebiters Journal is to build a literary and artistic community and anthologize and celebrate that community’s stories and work. Online editions will always be free.
