We choose pieces based on artistic merit. We are a labor of love, and are unable to pay for pieces at this time.
The Mom Egg acquires first-time publication rights to the piece. We also reserve the right to republish it in a future electronic and/or print edition or anthology. Back issues are archived indefinitely. Rights return to the author after publication: authors retain their copyright, so after their contribution has appeared in The Mom Egg, they may republish their text in any manner they wish—electronic or print—as long as they clearly acknowledge The Mom Egg as its original place of publication.
