This common practice means we retain the right to be the only journal publishing your piece online. For secondary print anthologies and collections, published authors must request approval from Wolfenhaas prior to publication and give us credit as initial publisher. We will most certainly agree to secondary print publication so long as we’re credited. You retain the rights to the work after first publication. If you have any questions regarding rights, please contact us through the website chat function, we're very responsive.

(It is important for us to know if your work is to be included in a collection or larger work being prepared for future publication. Please let us know, right away, the title, publisher and planned publication date.)
(2) The work is your original authorship and no other party has a claim to rights in it except as you specifically disclose at the time of your submission;
(3) The work was not generated by an AI writing assistant;
(4) There is nothing in the work that is libelous, invades personal privacy or deprives another of the right of publicity, or is otherwise harmful or illegal.
