Do You Have Any Cover Letter Advice?
Tell us about the work - what inspired it, and why you wrote it - and about yourself, but also give us links to your website, your social media, and/or articles/interviews about you or with you.
What Do You Look For In A Submission?
We look for artistic merit and originality in the work. We also appreciate kind and considerate cover letters and evidence that the author wants to partner with us to get their work in front of readers.
What Advice Do You Have For First-time Submitters?
Please read the guidelines to ensure your manuscript fits the requirements of the contest or open reading period, and format your manuscript as directed; please double-check your manuscript file to make sure it's the one you want to submit.
Who Is Your Ideal Reader?
Our ideal reader is someone who may be a little tired of having everything curated to their own tastes - someone who wants to try out a variety of new ways of seeing the world through poetry and creative nonfiction.
