Withdrawing Submissions

Writers are free to withdraw their submissions at any point, without conditions or penalties. To do so, they provide the title of the work, the date it was submitted, and their contact details through the Readers Platform. Once received, the piece is promptly removed from consideration. The policy reflects a commitment to transparency and to respecting the author’s control over when, where, and how their work is shared.

Withdrawing Submissions

We recognize that a writer’s priorities can change, and with that, the decision to withdraw a submission may become necessary. You may wish to continue revising a piece, pursue publication with another outlet, or remove your work from circulation for personal reasons. Whatever the motivation, the process for withdrawal is clear and efficient, ensuring that your work is managed on your terms.

This policy aligns with professional publishing standards, reinforcing that creative rights remain with the author. Your voice, your work, and your decisions will always be respected.

Transparency Matters

Creative work shifts over time, and writers may reconsider how their pieces are shared. A transparent withdrawal process ensures that choice remains firmly in the author’s hands. Once a request is made, it is acted upon without delay, and confirmation is provided to ensure there is no uncertainty about the status of the work.
