Submit your work
For each issue of Consilience we invite submissions of poetry or artwork. When the submission window is open, you will be able to submit your work via Google Forms using links that will appear on this page. Please note that these will only appear during the submission window.
All submissions must have a link to science, fit the theme of the upcoming issue, and also be in line with our inclusivity statement. To give you an idea of the kind of work that we publish, please read a couple of issues of the journal.
Prior to submitting, please read our Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence policy.
We cannot publish any poetry that has been published elsewhere, including on a blog or social media site. This includes any known future publications in which the poem might be appearing.
Please also note that we only accept one poem per poet per 4 issues of the journal (e.g. if you were published in issue 10, you cannot submit another poem until Issue 14). Unfortunately we cannot accept any poetry that has already been published elsewhere.
Issue 19 is now closed for submissions.
The theme for Issue 20 is ‘Change’ and submissions will open on Monday 6th January 2025 09:00 GMT and close on Sunday 12th January 2025 12:00 GMT.
The theme for Issue 21 is ‘Chaos’ and submissions will open on Monday 31st March 2025 09:00 BST and close on Sunday 6th April 2025 12:00 BST.
The theme for Issue 22 is ‘Waves’ and submissions will open on Monday 30th June 2025 09:00 BST and close on Sunday 6th July 2025 12:00 BST.
The theme for Issue 23 is ‘Tension’ and submissions will open on Monday 29th September 2025 09:00 BST and close on Sunday 5th October 2025 12:00 BST.
Poems and artwork in all languages are welcome. We will easily be able to facilitate a review process if it is in a language that is spoken by one of our team (Czech, English, French, German, Italian, or Spanish). If you have a piece that is not in one of these languages then please get in touch and we will try to work something out.
We look forward to seeing your work!
