OROBORO is a literary journal published bi-annually by Death Rattle, aimed at publishing and promoting poets, authors, and artists. We publish new work from both established and emerging writers. Before you submit, we encourage you to take a look at previous issues to get a feel for what we are looking for.

We annually collect the volumes released into a print edition. To purchase past in-print collections of OROBORO, visit our partner art shop here.

“Buy us a coffee!” You can donate to Oroboro / Death Rattle and find some Oroboro downloadables here.

POETRY ● FICTION ● COMICS⁣⁣

Submissions for OROBORO are currently OPEN until April 30th.


Poetry

5-6 poems and / or 10 pages. However, PLEASE send us a minimum of 2 works, as we cannot get a feel for your
style and intention or how your work would fit into an issue without being able to review multiple pieces.
We look at excerpts from long poems, too.

Submissions should include work in one file in .docx or pdf. 

Fiction

1000 word limit. We look at excerpts from longer work, too.

Submissions should include work in one file in .docx or pdf.

Comics

Yes! We take comics! We love comics!

5(ish) page submission limit. Again, we prefer more than one page of comics / multiple pieces submitted so we are more able to get a feel for your style and intention. If you don’t have more than one piece, giving us context for your comic submission and your work (and include links to other work if you can) in your cover letter would be greatly appreciated.

Submissions should include work in one image file, .jpeg, or pdf. 

300 dpi minimum. No larger than 8.5 x 11 in: (there’s some artistic wiggle room with this one.)


For all Submissions:

  • All submissions must include a cover letter. A cover letter includes a short biography about yourself and your work.

  • Simultaneous submissions are allowed and encouraged, just let us know if a portion or the whole of the submission
    is accepted elsewhere via a submittable note or email as soon as possible.

  • Submissions should include work in one file in .docx or pdf.

  • We accept submissions from all ages and from anywhere in the world.

  • Past submitters to previous issues of Oroboro are totally welcome to submit!

  • Only one submission per open reading period.

  • All rights revert to the authors upon publication, though we ask you cite OROBORO when published elsewhere or in anthology.
