Excision Magazine is AI-friendly.

We accept submissions that are AI-assisted or AI-generated. We also use automated tools as part of our editorial process.

Our focus is on the work itself.

For Submitters

• AI-assisted and AI-generated work is permitted.

• Disclosure of AI use is not required.

• Copyright remains with the author.

• Responsibility for originality, rights, and attribution rests with the author.

For Editors

Submissions are reviewed using a combination of automated analysis and human editorial judgment.

Automated tools may be used to:

• Normalize and anonymize submissions

• Assess coherence and readability

• Identify potential originality or attribution concerns

• Assist with triage and ranking

What This Means

We do not take a moral stance on tools.

We do not attempt to distinguish between “human” and “machine” creativity beyond what is necessary for editorial and legal clarity.

We care about whether a piece is intentional, readable, and effective on the page.

Limitations

Automated tools are not perfect.

They are used to support—not replace—editorial judgment. We reserve the right to reject submissions that raise concerns about originality, attribution, or good-faith authorship.
