Submit Review Copies
(Publishers only): We welcome books for review in Mosaic. Please keep in mind that our focus is Black and Latino literature, poetry, and non-fiction. We rarely consider urban literature, romance novels, or books written for children.

Because of the large number of books we receive we cannot review all submissions. Emails, phone calls, or letters will have no influence in the decision to review a title. We try to select a good mix of topics for each issue and books are chosen void of publisher influence. Please submit two perfect bound copies as early as possible.

We do not confirm receipt of submitted titles. Please use a mail service that provides a tracking number. Books that are not reviewed are donated to charity or sold.

Essays and Criticism: We have an open policy for submitting essays and critical pieces (no book reviews). First, send us an email with the focus and word count of your piece, which must be literary in nature. 

Please keep in mind, although we aim for editorial excellence, we strive to be accessible by everyone. Footnotes, eight-syllable words, and desert-dry academic verbiage are discouraged.

Short stories: Work can be up to 5000 words in length. Submit only one short story.

Poetry: Submit up to three poems. Works can be of any focus or length.

We only accept email submissions. Please attach work to an email and submit it to sheree@mosaicmagazine.org. You will only be notified if your work is selected for use in Mosaic. Mailed submissions will not be considered.

• Authorization to reprint submissions: We assume that all work submitted to Mosaic gives us the right to print that work without pre-notification of the author. If your work is chosen you will be contacted. We will not distribute your work to other publications or individuals.

• Payment: All contributors will receive an honorarium and 2 copies of the issue in which their work appears. Payment is made within one month of the publication date of the issue in which your work appears.
