General Submission Rules

Submitted works cannot have been previously published, nor be forthcoming in an archival journal or book (print or electronic). Please note: "publication" in a working-paper series, at a reading event, in a classroom, or on a blog does not constitute prior publication; however, the editorial staff does ask that previous circulation of the work be noted on the submission form. If you have concerns about the submission terms for Toyon: Multilingual Literary Magazine, please contact faculty advisor Dr. Janelle Adsit at Janelle.adsit@humboldt.edu.
