The submission to the
journal has been fantastic! However, we read some excellent
poems that could have been added to the journal. But, due
to time constraint, we simply do not have the time to contact
you and wait for a reply.
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, this is is where
'time' comes in. We do not
have the time to e-mail and ask for corrections and / or
reformat submissions; nor ask for your missing mailing
address,
etc.
There is a
submission guideline
on the website to
help you in getting 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 you’re poetry is not the upcoming current issue, we do
keep your
material over for the next issue - UNLESS you notify us to
have
it removed from our files. That’s also in the
guideline page.
We look forward to receiving your submissions!
