Manuscripts are read between August 15 and March 1. Unfortunately, we cannot read or reply to materials sent outside of the reading period. We prefer no more than 5 poems or 3500 words of prose per submission. Please use paperclips, not staples, to secure your manuscript. Please include a cover letter containing contact information including an e-mail address, a brief bio, title(s)of the work enclosed, and an SASE for reply only. (Manuscripts will not be returned unless specifically requested in the cover letter, and with inclusion of sufficient postage.) Simultaneous submissions will be considered with notice. Payment is two copies of the issue in which your work appears. With your permission, we may also excerpt from your work for our web page and other advertising. Thank you! We look forward to reading your work.
