The only official and legitimate way to submit your work to the festival which guarantees that your work is going to be processed by us is by using one of the official submission forms found on www.diagonalsliteraryfestival.com. See Submission Forms & Guidelines.

By submitting content to the Festival on diagonalsliteraryfestival.com, you agree that:

1. you are the copyright owner of the content you submit or if you are not the copyright owner of the whole or a portion of the content, you possess the necessary permission that authorizes you to use it and submit it;

2. you grant us exclusive permission to publish and host the content that you or a person authorized by you have included in one of the official submission forms only found on and submitted on www.diagonalsliteraryfestival.com.

3. you grant us exclusive permission to use portions of the submitted content on our social media channels, marketing emails and other places for promotional purposes;

4. that you (or any individual or entity) shall not receive a refund, full or partial, of the submission fee for any reason and under any circumstances, including but not limited to, whether the content you (or any individual or entity) have submitted is approved for publication and published on our Website or not.

5. your submission complies with and meets the specified parameters set in the official form, including but not limited to, the word count of your main text.

5.1 If the word count of your main text exceeds the limit posed by the form you have submitted it with, you agree that in order for your submission to be processed, you will have to pay for a correctional fee (which is priced at USD 5.99) by submitting the name of your work and the name which you have chosen to be credited with exactly as they appear on the original submission form. To do this, a correctional form will be provided specifically to you (or an authorized representative to you) by an authorized individual of the Festival.

5.2 If the word count of your work is less than the minimum word count of the form with which you have submitted it, your submission will be normally processed, but you agree that you shall not receive a refund, full or partial, at any time, for any reason and under any circumstances.

6. your work does not necessarily has to be published if it (a) does not meet our quality standards, (b) is inappropriate for publication on the Festival or (c) for any other reason;

7. upon publication, the Content shall remain on the Site until (a) the Festival or its respective copyright owner decides to have it removed (for any reason), (b) if it, in any way, breaches the rights of another copyright owner, (c) if it, at any point in time, poses, without limitation, legal, financial, physical or any other kinds or risks to us, our Site, Content or Services;

8. your work and any other information you provide is in the English language.

While we don’t require any specific style of English to be used, the text of your work must be readable and comprehensible by an English speaker, regardless of their country of residence. The text can still contain unknown or entirely made-up words or phrases or foreign words and phrases, but the overall language of the work has to be English.

This does not apply, for example, to dialogue where different accents and jargons can be used.

9. your text is clear from unintentional grammatical and spelling errors.

While a few typos can be acceptable – and easily corrected – frequent unintentional grammatical or spelling errors may result in your work not being accepted for publication.

Not to be confused with intentional errors (of any kind), which are permitted.

What we do not publish

While we publish all sorts of different writing in different categories, there are select things that we do not publish and that you should not submit. These include, without limitation:

1. Writing of any kind that is intended for young children below or around the age of ten;

2. Summaries or descriptions of stories, books or other works;

3. News;

4. Writing understood by and specific only to a dedicated sphere, for example, without limitation, legal writing, religious writing, technical writing;

5. Hateful, inflammatory, derogatory or harmful material of any kind, including but not limited to religious or political writing intended to (directly or indirectly) radicalize or incite violence of any kind against any (specific or not) individual, group, company or entity.

In case you submit any of these, you agree that your submission will not be processed or published by us and that you will not receive a refund of the submission fee and that you are not going to dispute this or hold us liable.

It should not be confused that while any of the aforementioned may not be submitted as stand-alone works, any of them can be part of a fiction work or, for the purpose of reporting or analysis, part of a non-fiction work.

This shall not be confused with censorship. Diagonals Literary Festival values and adheres to the principals and ideals of freedom of expression and therefore does not impose censorship rules on the content which is submitted or that which appears on the website.

If your content is removed from the Festival

If your content is removed from the Festival, it may or it may not be possible to appear on it again. This depends on whether it was your (or an authorized individual or entity’s) choice to have it removed or not.

If it wasn’t your choice, then you may not have this particular content back on the Festival until further notice or until it complies with all the provisions expressed in point number four above. If it does, you may resubmit it and pay the particular submission fee that applies to it. Note that this alone does not necessarily mean that it will definitely be approved for publication.

If it was your choice to have your (or an authorized person or entity’s) choice to have your content removed, then you may have it back again on the Festival by resubmitting it and paying the specified submission fee. However, this does not necessarily guarantee that it will definitely be approved for publication, especially if its contents have been significantly modified.

If you submit any material of any kind anywhere outside www.diagonalsliteraryfestival.com, you agree that you shall not hold Diagonals Literary Festival liable for any damages of any kind or size caused to you, someone else or an entity. For more infromation, see Limitation of Liability.

By placing an order on our website, you agree your bank account to be charged the amount of money needed for the processing and fulfillment of your order. (This excludes any import taxes which your country may impose on your package. See “Shipping” below.)

Shipping

You agree that you as a customer are responsible for the shipping costs as well as any import taxes your country may impose on the item(s) you order from us. You further agree that should you request a return, these costs will not be refunded to you.

Providing a correct delivery address and picking up your package when it arrives is your sole responsibility.

Returns and Replacement

You have the right to return a product you have purchased from us within fourteen days after you receive your package.

If you want to return an item, it must not have visible signs of use. You will be responsible for the return shipping costs and any applicable import taxes.

If you are eligible to request a return and refund and choose to do so, it is your responsibility to provide a valid bank account number to which the sum you have paid will be refunded.

The refunded sum will be only that which you have paid for the products, excluding any shipping costs and import taxes imposed by your country. If any discount was applied to your order, the refunded sum will be the discounted sum which you have paid and not the original cost of the product(s).

A refund will be issued only once.

You can request a refund or a replacement (within fourteen days counting from the day you receive your package) in case the product you have ordered from us can reasonably be proved to be “defect.”
