How to Submit Poetry
 

Send all submissions to dragone69@yahoo.com .  Please include the word "Submission" somewhere in the title if possible.  This will help me identify a submission e-mail quicker.  Also please include the information requested below.

Information to Include
 

Please include the following information along with your submission:
1. Poem's Title:  If untitled please state so.
2. Author's Name:  You may use either your real name or a handle, but you must tell me exactly how you wish your name to appear with your story.  Or if you wish both your real name and your handle with your poetry tell me which one you wish placed first.  Also, only works submitted directly by the author will be accepted.
3. Email Address:  Please include a working email address to be posted with your poetry.  This is so you may receive comments from your readers.  If you are concerned with anonymity try using any of the free email services offered on the web such as hotmail or excite.
4. Copyright Date:  If no copyright date is given, the current year will be used as a default.
5. Author Information:  This is optional, however readers do appreciate knowing a bit about you.  You may be as personal or as vague as you wish.  I will not, however, post any non-internet contact information such as a home phone number or a street address.  If you give someone that information via a private e-mail that is your own affair.  Also, if you have a web site I will gladly include a link back to it on your information page.  If feasible, I would also ask that you, in turn, link back to this site from your own.  I will not put up any personal information you send me via email unless you explicitly tell me too.

Please send submissions in Word (.doc), text (.txt) or the body of an e-mail.  If I have trouble receiving your submission I'll contact you and ask you to send it in a different format.  Also, keep the formatting within your document to a minimum.  Do not use a lot of bold, italics, indenting etc.  If you wish specific formatting please contact me.  If you wish a small note to be included with your poem for any reason, just let me know.  Please do not just send me a link to a page containing your poetry.  Just copy, paste and send it to me in an e-mail.

Editorial Policies
 

I will make corrections to gross and obvious errors of spelling that I notice. However, I'm not a professional editor and spelling has never been one of my talents.  I would suggest that you or someone else review your submission if possible before sending it.  I will not reject a submission for such errors, but I may ask that you revise your submission and then resend it.  If at any time you discover something that needs to be fixed or revised in your poem, personal information, handle or email address let me know.  I will usually reply to e-mails within the week and I will always inform you when your poetry is posted.
