We require First Serial Rights, meaning we must be the first publication your work appears in. Following publication, all rights revert to the author, but we ask that Sabr Tooth Tiger Magazine is credited in subsequent reprints. In addition, we reserve the right to edit submissions in accordance with the rules of our style guide, but all edits will be shared with the author for approval before publication.

We currently do not have the funds to regularly be a paying market, as we are a small, independent team, but we aspire to in the future. We currently offer contributors free PDF copies of the issue their work is in, as well as a discounted print copy priced to cover printing and shipping costs. We proudly nominate work for the Pushcart Prize and other relevant prizes and awards.
