Slate & Style Submission Guidelines

 

The next Slate & Style issue will release this spring. All submissions
must be turned in by Sunday, April 28, 2012 for consideration in the
spring issue. Submissions are welcomed at all times however. Please read
through the guidelines carefully. Submissions that don't follow these
guidelines will not be considered for Slate & Style. 

 

Submission guidelines are as follows:

 

.        Length requirements are: articles, 1500 words or less, fiction
and memoir/personal essay, 3000 words or less, poetry, 36 lines or less.

 

.        Include a title page along with your submission with author
name, title of piece and contact info-phone, email and address.

 

.        Please include a brief bio of yourself-no more than 150 words.
Do not send an entire history, just include key items you feel are
important for readers to know.

 

.        Book reviews should be favorable reviews, but if you craft an
intelligent negative review potentially helpful to readers, it will be
considered. The length for book reviews is 500 words. You don't need to
send a bio for book reviews.

 

.        All email submissions must be attachments and sent to
bpollpeter at hotmail.com. Do not paste entries into the body of an email.
Entries simply pasted into an email will not be read.

 

.        In the subject line of your email, write:  Slate & Style
submission, name, title and genre. EX: Slate & Style, Bridgit
Kuenning-Pollpeter, Giving Directions, nonfiction, fiction, poetry,
article.

 

.        Use Microsoft Word or create an RTF document for all
submissions. No other formats are accepted, and therefore will not be
considered.

 

.        Proofread and check your grammar and formatting before
submitting. Submissions with too many errors will either be returned
with corrections to be made if you wish to resubmit, or it will not be
considered at all.

 

.        Slate & Style will consider all submissions for publication.
However, please be careful with graphic sexual and violent content as
well as language and anti-religious, anti-gender, anti-racial and
anti-homosexual orientation content. Characterization and plot often
require this type of material, but it must serve a purpose. Gratuitous
material with no purpose or meant only for derogatory reasons, will not
be considered, however, material will be published according to the
discretion of the editor though.
