The MacGuffin is a triannually-published, print litmag based out of Schoolcraft College. Here are our general submission guidelines. You can find genre specific guidelines in each form.

• We do not accept work that has been previously published in print or online.
• Do not send revisions unless our editors have requested them. If there's a mistake with your submission, please send us a message or email macguffin@schoolcraft.edu instead of withdrawing.
• Authors who include material under copyright in their work are responsible for receiving permission to use that copyrighted material before the magazine goes to print.
• No cover letters are required. The information you include in the Submittable form will suffice.
• We accept simultaneous submissions if informed. We expect prompt notification if the work is accepted elsewhere. Manuscripts may be withdrawn until we send an acceptance notification to you.
• All withdrawals must come through Submittable, not email.
• We do not consider translations.
• All files must be sent as a .docx. We will not make any edits to your submission without informing you first. Authors whose work is accepted will receive galley proofs before publication.
• Please use Times New Roman 12 pt. For work that requires specific spacing/formatting, use Palatino or Book Antiqua.
• The MacGuffin is published by Schoolcraft College. Upon publication, all publishing rights revert back to the author. Contributors receive two copies.
