Current Reading Period Ends May 31
by Barbara Westwood Diehl
We hope that you enjoy reading our winter issue! And if you click on that issue drop-down, you'll see archived issues back to winter 2012. A lot of excellent work in those past issues.
Our current reading period for contest and non-contest submissions ends May 31. As always, no fee for non-contest submissions (poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction) and we pay $50 for the work we publish. But if you donate $5 when you submit, we'll send you a doc of 53 writing prompts to keep sparking your imagination. But again, absolutely no fee is required, and no special consideration is given to those who donate.
There is a reasonable $8 fee for contest submissions, and we pay $400 for the winning work in each category (prose poem, flash fiction, flash creative nonfiction). We have increased prize amounts when we receive an exceptionally large number of contest entry fees. All contest entries are also considered for publication.
We are now considering poems, short stories, and creative nonfiction for our spring issue, which we plan to publish before the end of April. After that—on to summer!
