How It Works
When you submit to Ramblr, Aleesha (chief editor) removes your name from the submission and sends it to the editors blind.
Editors then read submissions and choose which they would like to publish.
Aleesha reaches out to the accepted authors. Depending on the submission pool, if you have submitted but do not hear from Ramblr by the end of two months passed the submission deadline, it is safe to say that your work was not accepted.
If you are chosen for publication, we will send you a list of possible edits to be made to your work that need your attention. You will also receive a contract that you must sign stating that this work is original, yours, and unpublished elsewhere. Ramblr retains first publication rights. Your piece will be edited using a comprehensive CMS style guide for publication. The edits made during this read over are purely grammatical.
We use InDesign to make our magazine, so there are a lot of uniform edits such as spacing, alignment, typeface, and size that we decide beforehand which cannot be changed. We take into consideration of the length of a piece and try our hardest to keep the spacing of each piece as honorable to the submission as possible.
