SUMMARY:PFN - THEMA's Call for Submissions.  Theme: "The Crumpled Yellow Paper"
DESCRIPTION:ALL SHORT STORIES AND POEMS MUST RELATE TO THE PREMISE “THE CRUMPLED YELLOW PAPER” \nThe premise (target theme) must be an integral part of the plot\, not necessarily the central theme but not merely incidental. Fewer than 20 double-spaced typewritten pages preferred. Indicate premise (target theme) on title page. Be sure to Indicate target theme in cover letter or on first page of manuscript. Include self-addressed\, stamped envelope (SASE) with each submission. Rejected manuscripts unaccompanied by an SASE will not be returned. Response time: 3 months after premise deadline. Note: No handwritten manuscripts will be considered. \nNO READER’S FEE. \nNOTE: Previously published pieces are welcome\, provided that the submission fits the theme and that the author owns the copyright. \nMail to: THEMA\, Box 8747\, Metairie\, LA 70011-8747. \nOutside the US: email thema@cox.net \nOn acceptance for publication\, we will pay the following amount: short story\, $25; short-short piece (up to 1000 words)\, $10; poem. \nCopyright reverts to author after publication. \nUnlike many publishers\, we prefer works submitted by the authors themselves\, without the involvement of an agent. \nNo handwritten manuscripts will be considered. \nNOTE: We do not accept e-mailed submissions EXCEPT from authors who live outside the U.S. \nFor those living outside the U.S.\, submit manuscript as an email attachment (readable by MSWord ― either as a DOC file or an RTF file)\, and include the following information on the title page: target theme\, title of work\, name of author\, email address and physical address. \n\n\n\n\nShort Stories: All types welcome―both traditional and experimental \nSend to: Virginia Howard\, editor\, Box 8747\, Metairie\, LA 70011-8747 \nOutside the US: email to Virginia Howard at thema@cox.net \n\n\n\n\n\nWhat we like: a carefully constructed plot; good character delineation; clever plot twists \nWhat we don’t like: bedroom/bathroom profanity.  Why? \n\nIt’s boring! Writers should be more creative than to depend on the same tired and dubious language crutches to express surprise\, disdain\, shock\, bemusement\, anger\, sadness\, and other emotions.\nSuch profanity\, used in excess\, often serves as a camouflage for a weak plot. If the plot is good\, the story can be told much more effectively in nonscatologic language even though a character in the story may be sleazy.\nStories of lasting quality rarely need it.\n\nPoetry: All types of poetic form welcome. Submit no more than three poems per theme\, please. If more than three poems are submitted\, we will read only the first three poems in the stack. \nSend to: Gail Howard\, poetry editor\, Box 8747\, Metairie\, LA 70011-8747 \nOutside the US: email to Gail Howard at thema@cox.net \nWhat we like: poems that are thoughtfully constructed and carefully distilled. \nWhat we don’t like: sexually explicit wording. Subtlety is more creative.

SUMMARY:PFN - The Bellevue Literary Review Prizes in Poetry and Prose
DESCRIPTION:The BLR Prizes award outstanding writing related to themes of health\, healing\, illness\, the mind\, and the body. Winners are published in the spring issue of BLR. For each genre\, first prize is $1000 and honorable mention is $250. Goldenberg Prize for Fiction \n\n\nFelice Buckvar Prize for Nonfiction\nJohn & Eileen Allman Prize for Poetry\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFiction: We seek character-driven fiction with original voices and strong settings. We do not publish genre fiction (romance\, sci-fi\, horror). We have only occasionally published flash fiction. While we are always interested in creative explorations in style\, we do lean toward classic short stories.\nNonfiction: We are looking for essays that reach beyond the standard ‘illness narrative’ to develop a topic in an engaging and original manner. Incorporate engaging and creative analysis that allows anecdotes to serve a larger purpose. (Please\, no academic discourses or works with footnotes. )\nPoetry: We encourage poems that are accessible to a wide audience. Characteristics we look for are vivid writing\, strong narrative\, and rendering the familiar new. We encourage you to peruse back issues in our archive to get a sense of our ethos.\n\n\n\n\nGUIDELINES\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe happily consider simultaneous submissions\, but please inform us immediately if your work is accepted elsewhere.\n\n\nManuscripts can only be accepted electronically via Submittable.\n\n\nFiction/nonfiction word max is 5\,000 words (though most of our published prose is in the range of 2\,000-4\,000 words.) Please submit no more than three poems. Each poem should be on a separate page within a single document.\n\n\nDo not put your name or other identifying information on the manuscript document (or in the filename) so that the submissions can be read blindly. No cover letter needed.\n\n\nStudents/friends/colleagues/relations of a judge are not permitted to enter submissions to that judge’s genre.\n\n\nThere is a $20 fee per contest submission. Contest submission qualifies you for a 50% discount on a BLR subscription. (The fee helps BLR fund the contest and the journal\, but if it’s a hardship for you\, please contact us.)\n\n\nWinners from each genre (poetry\, fiction\, nonfiction) receive $1000. Honorable mentions from each genre receive $250.\n\n\nAll contest submissions are automatically considered for general publication as well.\n\n\nAll submissions must be of previously unpublished work.*  BLR acquires First North American rights\, and the right to reprint in anthologies and online. After publication\, all other rights revert to the author and the work may be reprinted as long as appropriate acknowledgement to BLR is made.
