[stylist] Time to Submit - Magnets and Latters

Tue Jan 6 14:53:21 UTC 2015

Vejas, this would be a nice opportunity for you to enter your work - would 
be nice to have it published if it gets in. Barbara, here's the method woody 
Allen uses to make selections and to put together his writing. He scatters 
it all over the floor, and picks it up at random - that will be the order 
that it will be in when the piece becomes a movie or a play.  I thought 
about putting together one of my lectures on  modernist lecture in 
Humanities in that way, but I figured the undergraduate audience would not 
have a clue what was going on - but I thought it would be a wonderful way of 
demonstrating how it works, for real.  This truly is how Woody Allen creates 
work, not joking.  So just toss your 12 poems out there on the floor, spin 
around a few times till you are dizzy, and give it a go. You might just pick 
the best one.  Lynda

I understand that feeling too.  Last year when I had creative
writing class we were required to send two pieces into our
literary magazine, Reflections, for a grade.  I was also in and
still am in creative writing club, and I had plenty of little
pieces from there but they were just too...  frivolous.  I ended
up creating two new pieces, so that is potentially something that
you could do as well.
You could also send them all.

I'm just glad to see I have longer to deliberate than I thought.
For some
reason I thought they were due this month.  Just wish a poetry
geni would
tell me which of the 12 I've picked out to submit.  Funny how you
think you
have some pretty good stuff but when you think of actually trying
to get
something published nothing seems good enough.

(I received this.  Want you all to have the opportunity.)

Hi there,

I hope everyone had a great holiday season and is ready to start
the new
year.  Once again, it is time to start thinking about your next
submissions
for Magnets and Ladders.  The deadline for the Spring/Summer
edition is
February 15.  here are our submission guidelines in case you are
new to the
group or are in need of a refresher.

Disabled writers may submit up to three selections per issue.
Deadlines are
February 15 for the Spring/Summer issue, and August 15 for the
Fall/winter
issue.  Writers must disclose their disability in their biography
or in their
work.  Biographies may be up to 100 words in length, and should
be written in
third-person.

Poetry maximum length is 50 lines.  Memoir, fiction, and
nonfiction maximum
length is 2500 words.  In all instances, our preference is for
shorter
lengths than the maximum allowed.  Please single-space all
submissions, and
use a blank line to separate paragraphs and stanzas.  It is
important to
spell check and proofread all entries.  Previously published
material and
simultaneous submissions are permitted provided you own the
copyright to the
work.  Please cite previous publisher and/or notify if work is
accepted
elsewhere.

We do not feature advocacy, activist, "how-to," or "what's new"
articles
regarding disabilities.  Innovative techniques for better writing
as well as
publication success stories are welcome.  Content will include
many genres,
with limited attention to the disability theme.  Announcements of
writing
contests with deadlines beyond April 1 and October 1 respectively
are
welcome.

of your book
published in an issue of Magnets and Ladders, please submit a

publication.

Final author approval and review is necessary if changes are
needed beyond
punctuation, grammar, and sentence or paragraph structure.  We
will not
change titles, beginnings, endings, dialog, poetic lines, the
writer's
voice, or the general tone without writer collaboration.  If your
work is
selected for inclusion in a future "Behind Our Eyes" project, you
will be
notified; your approval and final review will be required.  To
insure we can
contact you regarding future projects, please keep us updated if
your Email
address changes.

Again, we will be holding contests in the areas of fiction,
nonfiction, and
poetry for the Spring/Summer issue of Magnets and Ladders.  All
submissions
will be entered into the contest.  Cash prizes of $30 and $20
will be awarded
to the first and second place winners.

I look forward to reading your submissions.

Happy new year,

Mary-Jo
