Benicia Literary Arts welcomes submissions of manuscripts of previously unpublished fiction, non-fiction, and poetry. No matter what the genre, we value focus and clarity of vision, deep thinking, good writing, and a sense of orientation in time and place. Only complete, or nearly complete, works will be accepted.
We only accept original work created by human authors. We do not accept, review, or publish content generated in whole or in part by Artificial Intelligence (AI).
By submitting your manuscript, you confirm that:
• The work was written entirely by you, the human author.
• No AI writing tools or generators were used to draft, rewrite, or brainstorm the text.
• You retain all rights necessary to grant us the license to publish.
Submissions containing AI-generated content will be immediately rejected.
Please inquire before sending complete manuscripts. Send a synopsis or description of the work in 500 words or less to Mary Eichbauer, Editor-in-Chief, at literaryartsbenicia@gmail.com
