Submission Guidelines

Submissions are open for the second edition of Enamel. Submissions will close at the end of September 2009. Enamel will have a limited release in March 2010. We welcome all types of poetry and short fiction and are looking for writing that makes us wish we had written it. We have no theme at all and welcome all work. Remember to send us your best, or something you believe in!

• We are accepting submissions in the body of an email only.

• We don't think posting on your personal blog constitutes publishing, but would appreciate you removing the post if your work is selected.
  

• We don't accept previously published work from online publications, or print publications.
  

• If you have specific formatting requirements, please ask before submitting attached files.
  

• Please submit your work once only.

• Submissions that do not follow the guidelines may not be read.
  

Send your submission of no more than five poems, or short stories of no more than 2000 words and a short bio, and/or any questions you may have through to:

enamel dot editor at gmail dot com

Reminder

Just a reminder to all of you who are considering submitting to Enamel. Please read and submit according to the Submission Guidelines. They are there for a few reasons:

a) they outline what I'm looking for.

b) it's much easier to select poetry once you get a feel for the poet in general; one poem isn't enough to judge this, unless it is an absolute show stopper.

c) there is only a certain amount of room in this totally self funded project.

d) many magazines have similar guidelines and learning to write a good submission is an important part of getting published.

As always feel free to email (enamel dot editor at gmail dot com) with any questions that you have. I'm looking forward to reading more submissions!
