This Friday, February 1, submissions will open for issue 6 of the short-form speculative poetry magazine, inkscrawl. I invite any and all to submit speculative (i.e.: having some fantastic, science fictional, or mythic flavor) poetry 10 lines and under.
Please note that is issue has the theme of Journeys. I’m looking for journeys outward and inward, to the stars, to the past, to the dragon-pit, to the false paradise. I’m looking for epics and tiny little tales. I’m looking for you to take me somewhere
How epic can you get at 10 lines and under? I invite you to read NE Taylor’s 2-line poem “Sarcophagus” (which appears on at least two poetry editors’ recommended lists for 2012) and see.
Guidelines are here, and submissions will be open through April 30.
Hi Samantha,
I’ve been reading inkscrawl for the last few weeks and would love to submit a couple pieces for consideration, but there doesn’t seem to be any contact information on the website (either under guidelines or about).
Is there a dedicated inkscrawl submissions email address?
Thank you very much.
Hi Brandon! Thanks for checking.
Under the guidelines you should see “Please send up to FIVE poems per batch, to poetry at inkscrawl dot net. Payment for accepted poems is $3.” So put a @ between poetry and inkscrawl, and a . between inkscrawl and net, no spaces, and you’re good.
Please note that the theme for the upcoming issue is “journeys.” I look forward to seeing your work!
Ah, I’m such a dunce! I must have looked at that ten times and it never registered. Thanks for patience on a Friday afternoon! 🙂
