Flowers & Vortexes XI
Submission Call:
Submit ONLY after reading the guidelines completely.
Submissions are being accepted at this time.
Poems published online are acceptable
as long as where and when is cited by the author.
Remember: We want only your best work. Presentation is everything:
Any and all styles are welcome. However we do prefer free verse.
But I love intelligent and skillful use of language of any kind.
Quality is key. Imagery. Metaphor. Emotion.
These are key elements in the material that we seek.
Submissions can be sent via email.
Send three to five poems as an attachment.
Or send up to 500 words of fiction or creative nonfiction.
But if you're sure it's an exceptional piece, I'll consider up to 1,000 words.
Use Submission in the subject line.
For example, Poetry Submission.
A cover letter of some sort should be typed into the body of the email.
This should include a brief bio, who you are, your contact
information, and where you have been previously published.
And the works to be considered attached as a RTF file.
MS WordPerfect Version 11 can also be used.
If there is no special formatting that needs to be used,
then the submission may be sent in the body of the message.
BUT ATTACHMENTS ARE PREFERRED.
Send all submissions: sir_james@netzero.net
Response time: 1-3 months, sometimes sooner.
Authors receive one free copy of the issue in which
their work appears and a discount on any further copies of that issue.
*It is a good idea to purchase a copy of the magazine prior to submitting.
Submissions can also be sent via postal mail:
Please include a cover letter and SASE with all submissions.
Again, send only your best work..
Quality is key. Imagery. Metaphor. Emotion.
These are key elements in the material that we seek.

typed on 8 1/2 x 11 white 20lb paper.
