PUBLISHING RIGHTS
Coexist only considers unpublished works. This means we will only publish works that have not appeared in any form of print or digital media, including public blogs. If you are unsure whether your work qualifies, send us an email.
Coexist acquires first-time electronic rights, meaning that your accepted work must first be published by Coexist. We reserve the right to republish your work in a future electronic anthology. All other rights revert to the author three months after publication. In case of republication, we ask that you cite Coexist as the original place of publication.
