Poetry Tips: Stay-cation

More and more people are using their vacation time to stay at home instead of spending money they may or may not have to go elsewhere. This week, write poems on your “dream stay-cation” whether it is working in the garden, lounging by the local pool or playing in the sprinklers with your kids.

Good luck to all who try it, please stop in again next week…

Flaneuer and BAP Quarterly Open Submissions

We have TWO Open Submissions calls today:

The deadline for BAP Quarterly is June 30th for the Memory Themed issue!
Directly from their site I have posted the guidelines:
• Please send all submissions in the body of the email. In the Subject line please indicate the theme, type of submission, and your last name (for example: Space-Poetry- Obama). One submission per theme.
• Submit up to three poems, one story or creative nonfiction piece at a time, or three flash pieces. Visual arts: send 3-5 pieces at a time. Query us on music or video.
• Use the body of your email as a cover letter and include a brief bio.
• We accept simultaneous submissions, but only if you tell us so in your cover letter. If the manuscript is accepted elsewhere, notify us immediately.
• BAP-Q accepts only unpublished work and acquires first North American Serial rights. Please wait for a response before sending more work. Please send your best work, revisions will not be accepted.

Submissions are not guaranteed for publication and are subject to staff editing.
