Some Nitty Gritty Details: 

If Shoreland accepts your original piece for an upcoming issue, we ask that you not publish or submit that same piece to another local publication before our issue comes out. After we publish it, you're free to publish, share, sell, or submit it anywhere else.

​

Previously published work from a blog or social media is fine; just let us know when you submit it. 

 

Contributors keep ownership of their work. By submitting something that Shoreland accepts, you're giving us permission to reproduce it in the print edition of the zine and to promote that issue using reasonable excerpts or images of the printed zine.
