COPYRIGHT OF THE WORK REMAINS WITH THE CONTRIBUTOR.

We ask for First Electronic Publication Rights and credits when your work is republished.

We also ask for Archival Rights on our website indefinitely. Additionally, our issues will be PDFs and Flipbooks, so it will not be possible for us to unpublish your work for any reason whatsoever.

We will, however, be able to retract work via announcement if we are legally required to. Additionally, there will be suo motu retraction on our part in case we discover plagiarised content or someone, whether the original creator or someone else, brings it to our notice.

If we ever plan an anthology from the work published in our magazine, we'll request permission from the contributor.
