Send manuscripts of 64 or more pages of poetry, a novel or collection of short stories, no more than one poem per page, no smaller than 12pt type in an easily readable font. Work may have appeared in journals, magazines, or chapbooks, but not in full-length, single author collections.

Your name address, phone number, e-mail address, and title of work must appear on the cover page only.
