Submission Instructions
Issue 12 theme: Architectural
Deadline, October, 28, 2011 (Deadline extended!)
Issue #12′s theme is “Architectural”
Think: structure / accoutrements / building (v. & n.) / home / shelter
Though you are welcome to submit your work online throughout the year, our reading periods happen in the weeks before and after each posted deadline. We publish two issues a year, and each carries a theme. We are generally looking for work that speaks to the theme, but as stated, quality of work is the first consideration.
You should expect to hear back from us two months after the submission deadline, if not sooner.
Please upload your work to the online database, rather than sending a hard copy and do not email submissions. We do not accept hard copies or emailed submissions.
It’s very helpful and environmentally friendly.
One submission per individual, please.
Thank you so much.
