Poems:\u00a0<\/strong>Submit up to 3 poems in a single file submission. No more than 30 lines per poem, not including the title or blank lines between stanzas.<\/p>\n

Flash Fiction:<\/strong>\u00a0Submit up to 3 pieces in a single file submission. No longer than 500 words, not including the title. Different word processors and websites count words differently. If your piece is slightly over in the counter we use, it may still be accepted.<\/p>\n

Payment<\/strong>: $20 CAD + an equal share of sales. You\u2019ll need to create a Draft2Digital account for this, if you don\u2019t already have one. You can choose to waive your share and donate it. You will also receive a digital copy of the anthology. 50% of profits will go to supporting organizations that fight for trans and LGBTQIA+ rights. The other 50% will be divided equally among contributors and the publisher.<\/p>\n

Simultaneous Submissions:\u00a0<\/strong>Yes. Please immediately inform us if your piece is accepted elsewhere. If we really like it, we may still wish to publish it. If so, we will discuss which rights you are giving the other publication and see if we can make it work.<\/p>\n

Multiple Submissions:\u00a0<\/strong>Yes, sort of. You can submit once per category (see above). That means you can submit a maximum of 6 separate times. Please follow the guidelines for each category.<\/p>\n

Format:<\/strong>\u00a0We aren\u2019t too hung up on formatting. Just make it easy for us to read.<\/p>\n
