Submission Guidelines



The Wandering Forest by Christian Schloe


1.  Submissions are CLOSED. Poppy Road publishes periodically throughout the year.

     * Poems:  Include 1-2 poems in the body of your email (no attachments), 30 lines or less.  Send to poppyroadreview at Outlook dot com.  Also include a brief bio of 50 words or less.  


OR

     * Flash Fiction: Include 1 flash fiction piece, no more than 750 words. Include a brief bio of 50 words or less. Reading fee of $4.00 required for all flash fiction regardless of word count.



* DO NOT SEND POEMS AND FLASH FICTION AT THE SAME TIME.

2.  Previously published work is accepted if it was published more than one year ago.  Do not send simultaneous submissions.

3.  If published, please wait two weeks before submitting again.  If your submission is rejected, please wait one month before submitting again.


4.  Failure to follow these simple guidelines will ensure that your submission is immediately deleted.  I have many submissions to read through and do not have the time to reply to someone and explain why I can't accept their submission.

5. Flutter Journal acquires exclusive one-time online/electronic and print rights to publish poetry and to maintain archives that contain current material.  After publication, all rights revert to the author.  If the work should be published in the future, Poppy Road asks only for credit.

6.  All works will be published on a rolling basis.  Expect a wait time of 1-3 weeks for a response.
