Literary Voice is committed to maintaining a fair and accessible publishing model. To ensure the sustainability of the journal and cover essential operational costs—such as web hosting, editorial and peer review processes, formatting, indexing, DOI registration, and long-term archiving—a nominal fee of Rs. 1500 is charged only after an article is accepted for publication. This fee supports the journal’s mission to provide high-quality, freely accessible scholarly content. All published articles are made available under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC 4.0), ensuring broad dissemination and reuse while protecting authors’ rights.
