Content Standards and Moderation

Everscribe Magazine maintains firm content guidelines to ensure our publication remains accessible and appropriate for a diverse global readership. All submissions must adhere to the following standards:

• All works must be written in English. Please proofread for spelling and grammar errors. If you intentionally include spelling or grammar variations for dialect or other literary reasons, please inform us during the submission process.

• Language should be PG-13 or below. We do not allow excessive profanity, vulgarity, or explicit sexual content.

• Depictions of violence, if present, should be restrained within reason and justified within the context of your narrative.

• We aim to be an inclusive publication, so we encourage submissions that explore a variety of cultural backgrounds, identities, and perspectives.

• Works must not contain hate speech, harassment, or discrimination of any kind.

• We do not accept activist articles or pieces that promote specific agendas.

• Submissions should not infringe on copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual property rights.

Everscribe reserves the right to reject or remove any content that violates these guidelines. Our editorial team will review all accepted works prior to publication and may request revisions if needed.

In the event that a published piece is found to be in violation of our standards after the fact, we will work with the author to address the issue. Depending on the severity, this may result in the permanent removal of the work from our platform.

Featuring Work

In each issue, our editorial team selects four exceptional pieces to feature prominently on our website. We evaluate submissions based on their own merit, focusing on several key criteria:

• Originality: We look for unique perspectives and innovative ideas that stand out from the rest.

• Writing Skill: The quality of writing is crucial. We assess clarity, coherence, and the overall craftsmanship of the piece.

• Overall Impact: We consider how the submission resonates emotionally and intellectually with readers.

• Adherence to Guidelines: Submissions must align with our submission guidelines and content standards. Works that meet these criteria are given priority.

If your piece is chosen, you’ll have the exclusive opportunity to showcase it as a standalone feature in our Featured section on the website, placing your talent in the spotlight.
