About Us and Submissions

Submit your Work

We are continually on the lookout for external contributions. Send us your best pieces of thought-provoking Fiction, Nonfiction, Poetry, Illustrations, Cartoons, and Artwork by e-mailing them to us at socraticquiz@gmail.com. We are an inclusive, non-discriminate, credential-blind, equal-opportunity Publisher.

Publication is subject to conformance to our stringent quality, pertinence, appropriateness, and timeliness standards. Rejection is no assessment or appraisal of your writing quality, let alone your ability. All kinds of submissions and voices are welcome, though ‘for-the-sake-of-it’ profanity and pejoratives, and hate speech or discriminatory material will not be tolerated. Previously published pieces are welcome if you explicitly retain all relevant rights and permissions to its usage. Simultaneous Submissions are not allowed. At present, we are unable to pay for any submissions. Submissions must be your original work and it must yield under 10% plagiarism in our checkers (we exclude quotes and excerpts from scrutiny).

Don’t memorize, seek the meaning

What has been taken [from the teacher’s mouth] but not understood,

is uttered by mere [memory] recitation,

it never flares up, like dry firewood without fire.

Many a one, [although] seeing, do not see Speech,

many a one, [although] hearing, do not hear Her,

and many a one, She spreads out [Her] body, like a lover desiring her consort.

The meaning of Speech, is its fruit and flower.

— Yaska, Nirukta 1.18–1.20
