[stylist] Rules for publication

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Jackie and others,

Rest assured that any material poste on Stylist is not considered an
electronic publication. If the Writers' Division puts it up on the
website, or Slate & Style uses something, then it would be
electronically published. Likewise, if I have permission to post a poem
of yours on my personal website, this is considered an electronic
publication too. But listserves, chats and the similar are not deemed
electronic publications. If you've been told otherwise, you were
misinformed. And if my word is not enough, I learned this from a
published author and professor of writing, grin.

Sincerely,
Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter

Bridget,
I have mentioned before my worry about putting a poem I intend to submit
on this site. Here is the rule from NSFPS. Tell me how you interpret
this. I interpreted it to mean that even if I want  it critiqued, it is
still putting it up electronically. I would appreciate comments from all
about this problem.

CONTEST RULES
(Any violation will disqualify entry.)
1. Any poem submitted must:
be the original work of the contestant, unpublished in any form,
including electronically and placed on exhibition, not under
consideration or accepted for publication. (Award will be recalled if a
winning poem is found to be in violation of rules before publication in
the NFSPS anthology of prize poems
