3. The pieces should not be less than 800 words and not more than 1500 words. We are open to making exceptions to this rule, if a particular piece deserves more space.

6. We invite creative writing submissions: short story, short-shorts, poetry etc.
7. In case the authors are making submissions to multiple magazines, blogs, and newspapers, they must inform Cafe Dissensus Everyday the moment the piece is accepted elsewhere. Once Cafe Dissensus Everyday accepts a piece and starts working on it, it cannot be published in another magazine, blog, and newspaper.

Dear Sir,
I am a retired social science researcher and during my active years I wrote a large number of research papers in Economic and Political Weekly. I have just now written a piece of about 4 pages (single space) on the Supreme Court judgment Ajodhya case, can it be sent to you for the favour of publication? If yes, to whom?
Could I write social activism based on an islamic scholar who have played a significant role in Kerala muslim society.
