Regular Submissions
We accept submissions around the year.
Readers are welcome to submit: fanfiction, fanart, fanvideos, book/movie/etc. reviews, & social commentaries on comics & books & films & etc. If you’re unsure whether your work fits in any of these categories or not: it’s okay! E-mail us your submissions at headcanonmagazine@gmail.com in the form of an attachment, & we’ll get back to you. Kindly send along a short, third person bio of yourself; & a cover letter (not more than 100 words) mentioning which piece of pop-culture/fandom your work is inspired by. We accept work in English & Hindi. We do not consider work which has been enhanced or generated through the use of AI.
We sometimes accept Real Person Fiction (email us!). We do accept NSFW submissions. However, we ask you to mention the explicit nature of your work in the e-mail body itself.
We do not accept previously published work, unless previous publisher went dark. Pieces posted on Tumblr, Archive of Our Own, Fanfiction.net, Dreamwidth, LiveJournal, Wattpad, other social media platforms or personal blogs are accepted.
If you feel more comfortable having your work published anonymously or under a pseudonym, let us know in your e-mail. However, you will still be required to send in a short bio, for us to get a little idea about who you are, but we won’t be making that information public.
We usually try to get back to everyone within 2 months, but sometimes life does get in the way. If you haven’t heard back from us even after 3 months, please feel free to nudge us!
