Fasihi Magazine

Editorial Policy

Fasihi magazine maintains high standards through rigorous editorial policies focused on originality, quality, and strict thematic alignment.

Core Components of Editorial Policies

  • Originality & Ethical Standards:Submissions must be original, and not published elsewhere.
  • Submission Guidelines:Strict adherence to word count, format (e.g., standard 12-point font, double-spaced), and file type is mandatory.
  • Simultaneous Submissions:While many accept them, authors are required to inform editors and immediately withdraw work accepted elsewhere.
  • Editorial Independence:Editors make decisions based on merit, independent of commercial or outside influences.
  • Content & Style:Fasihi focuses on literary quality, engagement, and alignment with the magazine’s specific aesthetic or thematic focus. 

Key Submission Requirements

  • Cover Letter:Should be professional, mentioning the submission genre, word count, and a brief third-person bio.
  • No Simultaneous Re-submissions: Journals generally advise against submitting multiple pieces during the same reading period.
  • Professional Courtesy: Rude follow-up emails are strongly discouraged and can lead to immediate rejection. 

Editorial Process

  • Initial Internal Review: Editorial teams, or “first readers,” filter submissions to identify work that fits the magazine’s tone.
  • Blind Review: To ensure fairness, many journals remove identifying information during the review process.
  • Final Decision: Editors curate content to align with the magazine’s vision.
