about
PALINDROME
Started by literature lovers in 2022, Palindrome Journal is a yearly collection of poetry, visual art and other written work.
Evocative with a monochrome scrapbook style, Palindrome takes pride in its artistic layout and interviews, which are present in the "Zine Frontline" series.
Recently, our newsletter, “the dog and the sparrow” has also been in the works. For more information, head to our sister website down below.

common questions
Q : What can I do to have a higher chance of getting my submission accepted ?
A : Please proofread your work for any basic spelling and grammar errors and ensure it fits the prompt for the issue. You are welcome to resubmit the same piece up to three times with edits.
Q : What will happen with the copyrights of my art/poem after publication ?
A : Currently, Palindrome Journal will only publish your work digitally. We do not claim exclusivity and the artist/authors retains full copyright of their piece. If the issue your work is featured in gets printed in the future, permission will be asked again. Palindrome supports the rights of creators and maintains an open inbox for any further questions.
Q : Do I get paid if any of my submissions get chosen ?
A : Unfortunately, Palindrome currently does not have the ability to financially compensate creators. The Journal is entirely run by volunteers and does not make profit. We ask for your understanding.
