All submitted pieces must state the name of the living poet to whom the work is dedicated. If the submitted work is in conversation with a particular poem by the living poet\, please include the title of that poem. \nOther documents to include:  \n1) Submitters should include a “Statement of Homage\,” which explains why the particular living poet and/or particular poem by a living poet is important to them. \n2) Submitters should include a short biography (of no more than 5 sentences) of the living poet. In it you should aim to include the current location and/or hometown / city of origin of the poet and a list (with links if you have them) of a few of their works (poem titles\, book titles\, or other projects and publications).

We are currently accepting essays and interviews that engage with the poetry\, artistic practice\, or community work of a living poet. We are not opposed to book reviews and will happily consider such pieces. However\, we are very interested in “book essays\,” a practice we liken to the writer convening in a meaningful way with a contemporary poetry text. \nGuidelines: \nAll submitted pieces must be original works and never before published online or in print.  \n1) All essay and interview submissions should be sent in either Word or PDF format. \n2) A brief third-person biography should accompany your document(s). \nAll documents should be sent to verseofapril@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:P - Call for Submissions to Vilas Avenue. Theme: Symbiosis. Harmony
DESCRIPTION:Submissions\n\n\n\nVilas Avenue’s open reading period for poetry submissions to Issue Seven (Theme:  “Symbiosis. Harmony”) is January 1st\, 2025 through March 1st\, 2025.\n \nFor Issue #7\, we’re looking for poetry that challenges us to find similarity in difference and difference in similarity. Translate the nuance between an Emaj and an EbMinor. Show us (without showing us) an autumn hawk catching mice in your field of harvested corn. Send us the token lamprey on the shark’s back. Also welcomed:  1) riffs & tangents grounded in the sounds of the words “symbiosis” and/or “harmony”\, 2) metal so cool it’s hot to the touch. \nConfuse us to the point of finally understanding. \nCheers! \nDan & HW \nHOW TO:  Submit 1-3 poems pasted into the body of an e-mail or as an attachment to vilasavenue@gmail.com with the subject line “Poetry submission”. Please also include a brief\, third-person biography. You will hear back on the status of your submission within 2-4 months of the opening of our reading period\, if not sooner. Your own previously unpublished works only\, please. Simultaneous submissions are OK\, but please write to let us know if someone else snags your work first. Please do not send Artificial Intelligence (AI)-generated poems. \nThere is no fee to submit. We strongly believe that writing has value\, and we believe that\, when feasible\, writers should be compensated for their work. In alignment with arching toward that philosophy\, one poet (chosen at random out of all authors accepted for Issue Seven) will receive a $25 honorarium upon publication. \nAN IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT ACCESSIBILITY:  Vilas Avenue values and respects diversity in all its forms. We recognize that life experiences\, perspectives\, and circumstances juxtaposed with our built and virtual environments manifest and emerge in dynamic and meaningful patterns that make us all human. If the submission process presents any barriers to your access\, please contact vilasavenue@gmail.com and we will adapt to accommodate your process. \nThank you for considering Vilas Avenue as a potential outlet for your work!

SUMMARY:PFN - Call for Submissions to THEMA. Theme: The Lost Sock
DESCRIPTION:The premise (target theme) must be an integral part of the story\, not necessarily the central theme but not merely incidental. NOTE: Stories longer than 20 double-spaced typewritten pages will not be considered. 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.  NO READER’S FEE. \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; nonfiction/essay\, $25\, short-short piece under 1000 words\, $10; poem\, $10. \nCopyright reverts to author after publication. \nTHEMA isn’t for everyone. To find out why\, click here. \nNew to submitting manuscripts to journals?\nClick here to download a PDF file of a few basic guidelines. \nUnlike many publishers\, we prefer works submitted by the authors themselves\, without the involvement of an agent. \nBe sure to indicate premise and include SASE for each submission.  BE SURE to include a separate SASE for each premise. \nNo handwritten manuscripts will be considered. \nNOTE: \nWe 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  \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\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. \nSample copies of THEMA are available at $15.00 per copy ($25.00 outside the US). Click here to see a list of all available issues. \nSubscription rate: $30.00 per year for three issues ($40.00\, outside the US). \nMake check payable to “THEMA Literary Society” and mail to THEMA\, Box 8747\, Metairie\, LA 70011-8747.
