PN – Snapdragon: A Journal of Art and Healing Seeks Submissions on the Theme of Innovation

Poetry & Creative Nonfiction (memoir, essays, blog post) Guidelines

• We receive submissions via Submittable only. We do not accept submissions via email or after the submission deadline.

• Due to the high level of submissions, we will not publish a piece by one person more than twice a year. So, if we’ve published you twice in one year, please wait until the next year for consideration.

• We ask for no more than one poetry submission of 1-3 poems (one poem per page and no more than 5 pages) or one creative nonfiction submission of up to 2,500 words and in English only. Due to time constraints, we will not read your submission if it’s over the limit.

• We accept simultaneous submission. We respond within two months. Please keep this in mind as you consider simultaneous submissions.

• Poems and creative nonfiction should be 12pt text; set in Courier, Arial, Times New Roman (double space creative nonfiction).

• We consider new and previously published work on the theme of healing (emotional, physical, spiritual, community, etc.).

• Please tell us, if your piece was previously published and you own the rights, where and when it first appeared so we can note that.

• Please use our online submission portal to withdraw submissions. We really appreciate if you do this as soon as you know a submission is no longer available for publication.

• We believe a writer should have full control of their work, so all copyright and publication rights remain with the writer at all times. However, we appreciate exclusive publication rights for three months after the issue has been published to ensure maximum impact. And that if your piece appears in Snapdragon Journal before any others that you acknowledge that in any subsequent publications.​
