How to submit
Process
Submittable
Cover letter
Please include a short third person bio in the submission manager cover letter, as well as the word count for your piece.
Eligibility
No specific eligibility requirements
Formatting
Please avoid the excessive use of italics as overuse diminishes the effect of italicized text; and our submission manager has trouble keeping such text at the appropriate font size!
Author's rights
We retain one time rights for electronic publication of your work after which the rights revert back to you, the author.
Additional info
We publish online only, every other month. We can't accept all submissions given the limited space available in our journal, so we may be required to turn down some good pieces. Do not take it personally. Unfortunately, it's part of the process. And this is not a science; there is a lot of subjectivity in the selection process. Please do not send additional submissions before we have responded to your last submission. If we've declined a submission of yours please wait at least a month before submitting again.
