SUMMARY:PFN - 3Elements Review Accepting Submissions with the Elements: "Fugitive\, Swing Set\, Pinecone"
DESCRIPTION:Spring Issue #3 Submission Guidelines\nWe appreciate good writing in any genre. We especially like edgy writing that offers insight into darkness. We prefer character-driven stories as opposed to plot-driven ones. We relish a piece with a great deal of heart and more than a little bit of Truth (note the capital “T”). We want to read a story that makes us feel edified or philosophical or amused or creeped out or angry or melancholy or inspired or\, best yet\, all of these things together. \nUsing the elements\n3Elements Literary Review  is a themed literary journal\, and all THREE elements (the specific words\, Fugitive\, Swing Set\, Pinecone) given for the submission period must be included in your story or poem for your work to be considered for publication. NO EXCEPTIONS WHATSOEVER. \nYour story or poem doesn’t have to be about the three elements or even revolve around them; simply use your imagination to create whatever you want. You can use any form of the words/elements for the given submission period. For example\, if the elements are: Flash\, Whimsy\, and Seizure; we would accept the usage of Flashed\, Whimsical\, and Seizures. \nHow to submit your work\nWe will only accept previously unpublished (including digital/online content) work submitted to us through Submittable. You can easily submit material to us from our Submit page. Any work that is sent to us as an attachment\, or in the body of an email\, through our ‘Contact’ page\, or any other way outside of Submittable will automatically be declined. \nLength\nThere is no minimum word count\, but please keep your fiction and nonfiction submissions under 3\,500 words. Poetry must be under two typed pages.

SUMMARY:F - The Invisible Publishing First Novel Prize
DESCRIPTION:Invisible Publishing is pleased to announce the inaugural Invisible Publishing First Novel Prize\, which will be awarded to a promising and unique literary fiction manuscript by a writer who has never had a full-length book (of poetry\, fiction\, or nonfiction) published. The selected manuscript will be published by Invisible Publishing in 2024–25. In addition to a $1000 advance against royalties\, the winning writer will receive a $3000 prize. \nInvisible is committed to publishing a diverse array of writers and presenting unique perspectives\, and we are looking for work that is deeply grounded in a sense of difference and the unexpected. Other than that\, we’re up for anything from holiday romances to new takes on the nineteenth-century whaling novel. With this in mind\, we strongly encourage LGBTQ2SIA+ writers\, Indigenous writers\, writers from marginalized communities\, and writers of colour to submit their work. \nThe Invisible Publishing First Novel Prize is awarded in collaboration with York University’s Book Publishing program and Dr. Matt Bucemi\, Assistant Professor of Book Publishing. York’s students will help Invisible’s staff to choose the winning manuscript and will offer their feedback on the initial edit. This is a chance for students to get an intimate look at the publishing process and to make a meaningful contribution to an exciting new project; once they have given their early input\, the project will be guided to completion by Invisible’s own team. The winning author will be given the opportunity to give a keynote talk and hold a Q&A with the York student community. \nPublisher Norm Nehmetallah on what makes the First Novel Prize so exciting: “Our mission is to publish wholly original books and to sustain literary communities of all sorts. This prize helps us fulfill that mission on several levels: we’ll discover new authors who deserve to have their voices broadcasted to the world\, bring excellent new books into the market\, and foster the next generation of publishing talent by showing students how the industry\, and independent publishing in particular\, works.” \nGuidelines: Authors must be Canadian citizens or permanent residents to submit. Otherwise\, submissions to the First Novel Prize should follow all of our existing submission guidelines. Agented submissions are welcome. The submission period for the inaugural prize runs from 9 January to 28 February 2023. The winner will be announced sometime in April.

SUMMARY:P - Angel House Press Seeking Poems/Visual Poems
DESCRIPTION:AngelHousePress invites you to send poems and visual poems for NationalPoetryMonth.ca\, our celebration of poetry which takes place in April every year. \nPOEMS: No more than 45 lines & 250 words per poem. \nVISUAL POEMS: single image per screen rather than series of images on screen \nBIOGRAPHIES: 1ST or 3rd person. \nWHO CAN SUBMIT: earthlings everywhere\, but only on behalf of yourself\, not other people. \nHOW MANY POEMS/VISUAL POEMS CAN I SUBMIT: as many as you like\, but it’s helpful when you submit them all in one document or group of image files as a package rather than a bunch of individual poems in separate e-mails. \nCAN THE WORK BE PREVIOUSLY/CURRENTLY PUBLISHED: Yes\, if you hold the copyright. \nCAN THE WORK BE A TRANSLATION: yes\, if you can provide written permission from the author or the estate of the author. \nQUERIES & SUBMISSIONS TO    amanda@angelhousepress.com \nDETAILS \nThe work will be published on NationalPoetryMonth.ca each day in April 2023 with links shared to our FB page https://www.facebook.com/AngelHousePress/ and to my personal Twitter page: @KikiFolle. The work will be online until February 28\, 2024. \nPoems and visual poems include stanza based\, prose\, digital\, typewriter\, Letraset/rub on letters\, stamps\, asemic\, glitch\, collage\, altered books\, calligraphy\, photos of art installations\, erasure/black out poetry\, textiles\, nature\, ceramics\, performance scores\, poem objects\, sculptures\, handwritten\, comics\, mixed media\, word toys\, or anything else you can think of that transcends the boundaries of poetry/visual poetry. Surprise me. \nVisit NationalPoetryMonth.ca to see site’s parameters and aesthetic considerations. If you have any questions\, please feel free to e-mail me. I will send acknowledgements to everyone who submits in the requested format shortly after I receive the work and will send out acceptances and rejections in March\, 2023. \nAngelHousePress began NationalPoetryMonth.ca in 2009 as an alternative to institutionalized celebrations of poetry with the goal of expanding preconceived notions of what poetry is or means. My favourite response to the poetry on NationalPoetryMonth.ca is “this isn’t poetry!” \nWe publish one work each day in April for a total of 30. I use the opportunity to discover potential contributors to Experiment-O.com and to our essay series. \nWe will give preference to submissions by women\, queer\, trans\, BIPOC\, mad\, crip and neurodiverse writers and artists.\, especially those we haven’t heard from before\, and emerging writers. You are welcome to include this information in your biography if you care to.
