The submission to the journal has been fantastic!
However, I read some
excellent poems that could have been added to the journal for
publishing. One of the problems I had is TIME. How does time
affect that?
Here are a
few tips that may be useful, especially to new submitters.
From my own experience, these are some of the situations that I
have been running into
and unfortunately, I do not have the time to e-mail and ask for
corrections, nor email requesting your email and snail mail
address as required for each submissions.
This also includes if you have previously submitted, we still
need all info required as it saves us time and make the
difference if we publish your poem or not.
There is a
submission guideline
on the website to
help you get your poetry accepted and
published.
Below are a few more TIPS:
A) Was
the poem written in ALL CAPITALS? That’s a ‘no-no’.
Check the guidelines.
B ) Proof your work thoroughly for typographical and
grammatical errors. Work that is
badly miss-spelt or in need of severe grammatical or
punctual corrections, basically
will end up in “Unacceptable”
file.
C ) Do NOT
cut-and-paste from your word processing
program into your
e-mail
message. Doing so can garble
your work and often produces strange symbols that
detract from the editors'
impressions of your work.
D ) Does the poem have a title and is it appropriate? If it's
worthy of being considered,
it’s worthy of a title.
E) Sending your work with NO ADDRESS. Where do we mail your
published work?
NOTE: Bear in
mind, if your poetry is not in this issue, we do keep your
poetry over to be
considered for the next issue. That’s also in the
guideline page.
Have a great
and safe fall!
