SUMMARY:PFN - Call for Submissions to The Writers' Journal\, Volume 2. Theme: Doors
DESCRIPTION:Call for Submissions \nVolume 2: Doors \n \nThe Writers’ Journal is happy to announce we are open for Volume 2 submissions.  The theme for Volume 2 is DOORS. \nAs the winter chill passes\, we are now ready to open our doors to sunshine and the scent of floral-filled fresh air. \nDoors mean different things to different people. For some\, opening doors conjures new love\, opportunity\, and adventures\, but others see closed doors that symbolize rejection\, loss\, and goodbyes to loved ones. Some doors of rich stained wood may symbolize an air of elegance. Some are painted rich shades of jewel tones\, while others are made of glass\, allowing passersby a peek inside. Some doors revolve\, sweeping us from a public to a private world with just one spin\, and some even open into magical adventures. \nWhether doors conjure memories or set your mind on a fictional adventure\, whether you are a poet or prose writer\, we welcome your creative work. We want to see you stretch yourself and surprise us with something new\, something haunting\, passionate\, extraordinary. We are looking for stories and poems that live in our thoughts long after we have read the last word. \nWe welcome new and seasoned writers and look forward to reading your work. Please be sure to read and follow the submission instructions. \nWriting Submission Instructions\n\nMemoir\, cnf and fiction stories are limited to one (1) composition of 150 to 1\,500 words.\nPoetry submissions are limited to three (3) poems of 25 lines or less submitted in one document.\nAll submissions must be double-spaced\, 12-point\, Times New Roman font\, and in Word doc format.\nAll submissions must be original and by writers over 18 years of age.\nAdd your bio of up to 75 words to the end of your submission.\nSimultaneous submissions are permitted.\nNo graphic or gratuitous violence or sexual content\, no AI-generated stories\, or previously published material is acceptable.\nEmail submission to: submit@writers-journal.com. Put your name and genre in the subject line of your email. (i.e. Barbara Hurwitz\, fiction)\n\nWhile we are unable to pay writers for their work\, there is no fee to submit\, and we hope that sharing your published work will bring you the joy it brings to us. We will provide you with a PDF copy. Hard copies and ebooks will be available for purchase online. \nIf your submission is accepted\, we will require your written authorization before publication in our journal. If not accepted\, please wait for the next volume to submit again.

SUMMARY:P - Time of Singing Contest Seeking Submissions on the Theme: Elegies
DESCRIPTION:Submission Guidelines\n\n\nTime of Singing welcomes poetry that talks about God and our relationship with Him and each other–as well as general inspirational and nature poems. I prefer poems that don’t preach\, and “show” rather than “tell.” Sermons and “greeting card” poetry have valid purposes\, but aren’t appropriate for this magazine. \nI suggest you obtain a sample back issue to help you ascertain TOS’s style. $5.00 to TOS\, P.O. Box 5276 Conneaut Lake\, PA  16316 (Make checks payable to Wind & Water Press). Remember small\, “indie” presses need the support of readers and poets. \nPlease submit up to 4 to 5 poems at a time. That way I can get a better idea of your work. Please be patient with the process. I try to respond within 3 months. It may take up to a year to see your work in print. \nI welcome fresh rhyme\, beg for more forms\, appreciate well-crafted free verse\, and consider poems up to 40 lines in length. \nPlease include a SASE with all submissions by regular mail\, and send them to: \nTime of Singing \nP.O. Box 5276 \nConneaut Lake\, PA 16316 \nYou may also submit poems via email to the following address: \ntimesing@zoominternet.net \nPlease put “Poetry Submission” in the subject line and full contact information in the e-mail and on every poem. \nI will comment on work that has merit and is close to publication\, and will clear major revisions with the poet. All contributors receive one copy of the issue in which their work appears and the opportunity to purchase more at the contributor’s rate. \nOf course\, subscriptions are always welcome! One year (four issues) is $21.00 ($25.00 US for Canadian friends). I hope that you’ll consider supporting small press poetry. \nThank your for your interest inTime Of Singing. I look forward to reading your work. \nLora Zill\, Editor \n\nSubmission fee: $5

SUMMARY:P - Heron Tree Seeking: Found poems that incorporate the word "twelve" or "dozen"
DESCRIPTION:Heron Tree volume 12 will be dedicated to found poems composed from sources published in or before 1929. \nWe will be accepting submissions in the following categories: \n\nFound poems created from any source material(s) published in or before 1929.\nIn honor of our 12th regular volume\, we’re inviting found poems (still created from sources published in or before 1929) that incorporate 12 in some way. For instance\, a poem could have 12 syllables\, 12 words\, or 12 lines; it could use the word “twelve” or “dozen;” it could be an erasure of page 12 or Chapter 12 of a particular book; it could be created from a word-pool you generated by gathering every twelfth word of a source; it could be a cento combining 12 different sources. These are just suggestions!\n\nWe encourage you to download and read some collections of found poetry that we have published in the past: Found in the Public Domain\, Songs\, From the Blue Fairy\, Of Climates & Continents\, and all the poems in volume 8\, volume 9\, volume 10\, and volume 11. \nMore information: \n– We are interested in all approaches to found poetry construction and erased or remixed texts. \n– Poems that are not in one of the categories listed above will not be considered. \n– If you are working with a text that was translated into English\, the English translation must also be published in or before 1929. \n– Send up to 5 poems with a cover letter to submit.herontree@gmail.com. \n– In your email cover letter\, please include a list of your poems’ titles. \n– The poems should be attached in a single doc\, docx\, or pdf file. If your pieces are better viewed as digital images\, insert them as jpegs within a single doc\, docx\, or pdf file. \n– All submissions will be read blind\, so do not include your name in the file with the poems. \n– In the same file as the poems\, provide a different process paragraph for each poem. It should identify the source(s) for the poem and clearly explain your method of composition. If a poem combines found material and your own words\, that’s fine\, but your process statement must make that clear. You can find examples of process paragraphs in our previous collections of found poetry. If a poem is accepted for publication\, the process paragraph will be published with it. \n– Simultaneous submissions are welcome with timely notification of acceptance elsewhere. \n– Poems that have previously appeared online (temporarily or permanently\, on your own or a third-party site) should not be submitted\, nor should work that has already been published electronically or in print. \n– Once you send your submission\, you’ll receive an automatic email reply. If you don’t receive the reply\, please check your spam folder and add Heron Tree to your contacts to ensure that you receive future communications about your submission. \n– If your work is accepted by Heron Tree\, you agree to grant us exclusive first publication rights and the non-exclusive right to include your work in the volume 12 collection and our online archives. You agree that if your poem subsequently appears elsewhere you will credit Heron Tree as the original publisher. \n– Accepted poems will be published weekly on the Heron Tree website beginning in summer 2025 and will be included in a free downloadable PDF volume available later. \nHeron Tree does not charge a fee for submitting nor provide payment for publication. \nThese guidelines are subject to change.

SUMMARY:P - Arc Poetry Magazine Seeking Submissions on: The New Material Ecopoetics
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to be a poet engaged with the physical material of the world around us? How does poetic form change in the encounter with other beings? How do we write collaboratively with—rather than about—nonhuman beings and ecologies? \nFor the Fall 2025 issue\, Arc is seeking experimental eco-poetry that engages with the possibilities of organic form. We welcome experiments with lyric\, visual poetics\, material poetries\, and sound poetries. Send us your big swings! \nSub­mis­sions should be pre­vi­ously unpub­lished poetry in English or translations of poetry into English (please confirm you have the appropriate rights and permissions to publish your translation). Submissions on this theme will be accepted until May 15\, 2025. \nPoetry Submission Guidelines\n\nSubmissions must not exceed three poems or 360 lines of poetry. (Note: poets may submit to this themed call as well as our general poetry submissions; submissions to this call do not count towards our limit of considering three poems per poet per calendar year.)\nSubmissions of more than one poem must be broken up into two or three documents and submitted separately along with your biog­ra­phy. In order to submit the files separately you must go through the submission process for each piece you wish to submit. This allows you to provide each submission with the title of your poem\, and it allows us to group the submissions more easily and update you about the status of each individual poem.\nSubmissions must be typed and sin­gle spaced (dou­ble spaces will be inter­preted as blank lines). Submissions of visual poetry or concrete poetry should be in PDF format. Spoken Word poems can be submitted as text or audio or video recordings.\nSubmissions must include your name and email address on each page.\nCover Letters must include the poet’s name (as it would appear in the publication if accepted)\, email address\, and mailing address\, as well as a brief biog­ra­phy\, which should be two to three sentences or approximately 30 words long.\nSubmissions of visual poetry or concrete poetry should be submitted as PDFs. Spoken Word poems can be submitted as text or audio or video recordings.\nPoets may submit poems that are simultaneously submitted elsewhere. However\, poems that have been accepted by another publication should be withdrawn from Arc immediately\, using Submittable.\n\nArc‘s rate for poetry of $50 per page. Payment is issued upon pub­li­ca­tion along with one free copy of the issue in which the work appears. With acceptance\, Arc secures First Cana­dian Serial Rights\, meaning the poems should not appear in any print or digital publication before the release of the issue in which the work appears. All rights will revert to the author upon publication. \nArc cannot promise to respond to inquiries regard­ing the sta­tus of sub­mis­sions before the com­ple­tion of a reading period.
