[stylist] Time to Submit

[Lynda Lambert]

Hi Everyone,
I  just posted Mary-Jo's announcement on our Facebook Page. We have 109 
members on the page at this time. If you have not yet found the Writer's 
Division Face Book Page you can go to this link:
  https://www.facebook.com/pages/NFB-Writers-Division/360960880660939?fref=nf

We started the page in 2013 to keep everyone informed of opportunities for 
writers.
Click on "LIKE" and you will get all the updates.  It would also be a great 
place to post a piece of your work from time-to-time, or a celebration of a 
new publication of interest to writers.
Our  FB page is also a great recruitment avenue for brining in new members 
so be sure to "SHARE" it with your FB Friends, too.

Lynda

Hi,

I'm not sure if this was posted earlier this month, so I'm sending this
submission announcement to be sure everyone on the list has a chance to
submit.

Once again, it is time to start thinking about submitting your work for the
Fall/Winter edition of Magnets and Ladders. The deadline for submissions is
August 15. Below are our submission guidelines taken from the Magnets and
Ladders website at:
Http://www.magnetsandladders.org
Please read the guidelines carefully, as some things have changed. Pay close
attention to the section on being sure that you are submitting your final
draft.
Submission Guidelines
Writers with disabilities 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.
Do not submit until your piece is ready to be considered for publication.
Rewrites, additions, deletions, or corrections are part of the editorial
process, and will be suggested or initiated by the editor.
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.
Have You Published a book? If you would like to have an excerpt of your book
published in an issue of Magnets and Ladders, please submit a chapter or
section of your book to submissions at magnetsandladders.org. The word count
for book excerpt submissions should not exceed twenty-five hundred words.
Please include information about where your book is available in an
accessible format. We will publish up to one book excerpt per issue.
Do you have a skill, service, or product valued by writers? For a minimum
contribution of $25.00 we will announce it in the next two issues of Magnets
and Ladders. All verifications of products or services provided are the
responsibility of our readers. Book cover design? Copyediting? Critiques?
Formatting for publication? Internet access or web design? Marketing
assistance? Special equipment? Make your donation through PayPal (see
magnetsandladders.org) or by check by March/September 1. 100-word
promotional information is due by February/August 15. Not sure about
something? Email submissions at magnetsandladders.org. All donations support
Magnets and Ladders.
Please email all submissions to submissions at magnetsandladders.org. Paste
your submission and bio into the body of your email or attach in Microsoft
Word format. If submitting Word documents, please put your name and the name
of your piece at or near the top of the document. Submissions will be
acknowledged within two weeks. You will be notified if your piece is
selected for 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.

I hope that you are having a great summer, and I look forward to reading
your submissions.

Mary-Jo Lord
