This is an all inclusive zone.   No hate speech, don't be overly sexualized with posts, No racism, homophobia, or any type of holier than thou bullying.   These will be immediately rejected! 

Keep an eye out for any personal prompts that we come up with for any upcoming anthologies!

*please send any submissions in word doc format or in body of an email and mostly a traditional style for easier translation to wordpress page as possible.
Pdfs/Google docs work, but sometimes things don't translate over as well.

* We accept previously published pieces as long as you let us know where and when they were published previously.  Sometimes these will not be accepted according to copyrights. 

*We don't always send acceptance or rejection e-mails.  Give us a month to a month and a half once you send an e-mail. If we don't post your showcase within that time, please send an e-mail to ask about the status.  I am very busy with different projects and a full time job and family, so it is hard to communicate on the regular regarding this.


*We take on book reviews only when we have a reviewer on staff that would be able to do it.  Please ask if interested. There isn't any book review guarantees however. 

* We are unable to pay contributors at this time. Most everything that is in a print issue will also be on the website and vice versa.  Sometimes posts will be taking down periodically from the site for spacing or other reasons. Each contributor to a print anthology will receive a free pdf to review before publishing comes out to make sure your bio and everything is up to date.
