HOW TO SUBMIT
FOR VOICES
We accept poetry, prose, short fiction, flash fiction and essays. When
submitting please DO NOT send your submission in the body of an email. Send
it as an attachment, either .doc, or .pdf (preferred). ALL submissions sent
in the body of emails will be summarily rejected upon receiving it.
If sending poetry please send up to 6 samples. If prose, short fiction,
flash fiction or essays, try to keep the word count to 2500 words or less.
If your submission is longer than this contact us first. If you have a
unique submission that does not fit these parameters contact us, we bend the
rules regularly.
If you are sending artwork or photography send the images as 300 dpi jpg,
eps, or pdf (preferred). Again DO NOT send your artwork submissions in the
body of a an email, it will automatically be rejected.
Keep your submissions with the theme chosen. This year's theme of
SKYSCRAPERS, DOLPHINS & EVOLUTION allow for a wide range of creativity.
Stick to the theme, it's pretty easy to do. Stretch your mind a bit.
Challenge yourself.
Try to send your submissions at one time. Sending multiple submissions
over time does nothing but hinder our process. We will respond as quickly as
we can whether we accept, or reject, your submission(s).
We prefer original content. If you previously published your submission
let us know the FIRST place it was published so we might give them proper
credit. This includes all printed material. We are not interested in your
blogs, or vlogs, or your great aunt Carol's website. Same holds true for ALL
social media. We are only looking for previous, professionally PRINTED,
publications.
Deadline for submissions is April 15th, 2026.
Anthology will be printed in Summer, 2026.
