Submissions
We are a special interest online magazine with subscribers in 117 countries and on every continent. Our mission is to foster the Australian-Irish heritage.
Tinteán would not be the success it is today without contributions from the public in the form of article submissions.
Peer-reviewed
Submissions are peer-reviewed by an editorial group with backgrounds in education, history, Irish language, literature, and writing.
Previous authors
Our authors to date have been Irish-born and Irish resident; Irish-born and Australian resident or resident in other countries; Australian-born of Irish descent; or simply interested and involved in the Australian-Irish connection.
Please note that as a not-for-profit group and magazine, we are unable to pay for submissions.
We welcome original book, film, music, and theatre reviews; original research articles and commentaries on anthropology, archaeology, culture, genealogy, gender, history, language, music, sociology, sport, theatre; creative writing: creative fiction, short stories, flash writing; poetry; non-fiction, including travel items, reflections, and biographical pieces that will be of interest to our readers in Australia and internationally.
How to submit
Other than poetry submissions, please submit items with a word count of between 500 and 2500 words, in Word. Please do not send a PDF.
Word count
Word counts outside of those suggested above may be negotiated. We are willing to work with authors on submissions to best serve our readers, so do not hesitate to offer a submission.
Originality and attribution
Your submission must be original. If you rely on others’ work for your article, you must acknowledge this, including any AI. You must do your own fact-checking and make sure that your work does not infringe any copyright by providing appropriate attribution for content and images where relevant.
Previously published?
While we prefer submissions that have not been published previously, we have made exceptions in the past. If your submission, or part of it, has appeared in print already, please identify the publication, and secure the publisher’s permission to republish with due acknowledgements of the original publisher, and email us with evidence that you have done so.
Author bio
Please include a short biographical note at the end of your submission. You can see examples at the end of previous articles in Tinteán.
