    Submission Guidelines:
    Please note, our submission guidelines have recently changed. In celebration of our next issue, #25,
    we will begin publishing bi-annually (twice a year) rather than quarterly. This will allow me time and
    resources to be able to offer print publication as well as online. Not to mention time for my own
    personal projects that have been neglected for too long. Submissions from the remainder of 2010
    and those currently in hand will  be considered for the next issue, due out July 2011.

    Reading Periods:

    Summer/Fall Issue: January 1 - April 1 (Published in July)

    Fall/Winter Issue: July 1-October 1 (Published the following January)

    What to do:
    Send 5 poems max. and a short bio if you want to include one. Include your poems in the body of
    the message or better as a single Word file.

    Please copy and paste this statement in your email to us:

    "I am the author of the enclosed work, am at least 18 years of age, and this work is not under
    consideration elsewhere."

    Email to: mastodondentist@shoemusicpress.com

    Include your physical or mailing address as well.

    What not to do:
    No simultaneous submissions. Must be 18 years old to submit. If it looks like you are
    copying and pasting our email address and mass mailing out your submission, your work
    will not be read. If it otherwise shows you have not read the guidelines, your work will not
    be read.

    You will receive an automated response letting you know we have received your submission.

    Thanks, I look forward to reading your submission.
