As usual, we are looking for writing on your own choice of theme that grabs our attention, pulls our heart strings, leaves us open-mouthed or holding our breath, makes us think, make us laugh or cry, and\/or is strikingly original. In short, poems or flash-fiction that excite us enough to share them with\u00a0wildfire words\u00a0<\/em>readers. During this submission window, each writer may make one submission as a single file containing a maximum of 3 items \u2014 poems and\/or prose. Each item can be in any form, but no longer than 50 lines or 300 words, including title, stanza breaks, dedication or footnotes. For all submissions to Wildfire Words<\/em>, we choose only content that follows our\u00a0inclusivity policy<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0of respect for all writers, regardless of their background, beliefs, ethnicity, identity.<\/p>\n

We encourage you to make an\u00a0audio recording<\/strong>\u00a0of each item on your phone or computer and submit it with your text or on its own without your text. Publishing audio is our speciality, because it amplifies the strength and meaning of your writing. If you prefer to join one of our online recording sessions to submit,\u00a0click on this link<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

You are also invited to supply a\u00a0biography<\/strong>\u00a0of yourself in no more than 60 words, If any of your work is published, your writing \u201cbio\u201d will be, too.<\/p>\n

To submit your text and bio<\/strong>\u00a0(with or without audio) please\u00a0click on this link<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

To submit audio<\/strong>\u00a0after submitting text and bio,\u00a0click on this link<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Submitted writing must be your own original work, in English, and unpublished in print or online, including your own website.<\/strong>\u00a0Where an original writer teams up with a translator into English, we will consider publishing the work, provided biographies of both writer and translator are provided.<\/p>\n

If your work is published in\u00a0wildfire words<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0ezine, it will be on a non-exclusive basis for at least one year. The copyright remains yours for all poems, flash, bios, and audio recordings you submit for publication.<\/p>\n

How we decide which poems to publish<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our decisions on whether to publish an item are not anonymous. We see the writer\u2019s bio with the text. Published authors have generally set a quality benchmark which we can use to gauge their new work. The work of writers with little or no published work is assessed on quality\u00a0and potential<\/em>. In such cases, we may contact the writer to suggest some tweaks that would make us keen to share the work on\u00a0Wildfire Words.<\/em><\/p>\n

We do not charge for submissions \u2014 or for feedback, if we choose to offer it on work not accepted on first review. Our publishing service is non-profit-making, created with a love of sharing creative writing and social and personal growth it produces. Donations to support Wildfire Words\u2019 sustainability are welcome, but voluntary. A donation does not affect whether we publish a submission.<\/p>\n

We aim to include writers worldwide.<\/strong>\u00a0We respect all people and their well-being, beliefs, individuality, and free speech, and expect the same from writers. We\u2019ll publish any work that adds fresh creative spice to this feature. We\u2019ll evaluate your jewel, whether it\u2019s a cut and polished dazzler or a rough stone with interesting lustre.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
