Current Spoonful Deadline
We are accepting submissions for issue #7 between January 25th and February 25th (with an eye on going online for March).
Submission Guidelines
Spoonful
currently accepts by email submission only. Please send 3-5 poems of
various forms and length as Word attachments with the word "Submission:
Poetry" in the subject heading to stonesouppoetry@yahoo.com before February 25th.
Short works of fiction and
non-fiction will also be considered. We are particularly looking for
essays that touch on Stone Soup's history or the history of the Boston
Poetry scene. Please send an inquiry email describing your prose piece
and its length before sending it with the word "Proposed Longer Piece"
in the subject heading.
Artwork is also being
accepted, though moving forward, there will be fewer pieces accepted.
If your artwork or photography is meant to accompany a submitted poem or
prose piece, please let us know in the body of the email.
Illustrators, photographers,
and artists of any kind are encouraged to send up to 10 JPEG submissions
to the same address with the words "Submission: Artwork" in the subject
heading to stonesouppoetry_at_yahoo.com. The artwork's title and medium (if any) should be part of the JPEG file name (example, "Summer, Windphotograph.jpg").
Important
With your submissions, please
also include as an attachment document a 2-5 sentence bio (longer bios
will be edited at the editors' discretion and without notice). Please
include notice of submissions sent simultaneously to other journals.
A Note On Prior Publication
Our editorial eye will be
toward unpublished work but we will considered previously published
poems on the basis of merit and/or the previous source (a defunct web
journal, a prelude to a larger, new project, etc).
We encourage that you be forthright with a poem's publication history, if any. Spoonful retains the right to reject and remove from our site, without notice, works with previous publication credits intentionally omitted by the author.
