We are accepting submissions September and October, 2010.

Guidelines and theme:

The BIO ISSUE: GRADEABLE OR BIO DEGRADABLE

We want poems and creative essays about your life—truths, half-truths, secrets, adventures and misadventures you’ve buried under the carpet.

Plus, a SPECIAL MANDATORY CAVEAT: Writer bios must be sassy and original. Instead of a list of publications, give us a short, short bio story. Again, the truth of it is in your hands. Who are we to judge?

As always, we're interested in unusual interpretations of this theme. Edgy, creative poetry and essays are always appreciated. Beauty also a plus.

Submission Period: September & October. PLEASE READ GUIDELINES CAREFULLY.

POETRY: Submit 3-5 poems along with a bio of 85 words max to Susan Terris at Sdt11@aol.com

CREATIVE ESSAYS: Submit an essay of 1,000 words or less, along with a bio of 85 words max to Tatyana Mishel at tmishel@seanet.com. PLEASE ATTACH AN MS WORD DOCUMENT.

Please send your pieces in an attached WORD document. If submissions don't meet our guidelines we won't read them, which would be such a shame. So please make sure you've got your ducks in a row. Thanks!

Editors' bios

Susan Terris was a girl who grew up as a boy and is always willing to take a risk—except when she isn’t. Eccentricity and kayaks are important to her. Books, too. She worries she won’t write what she is meant to write and that she is, somehow, caught up in the wrong myth. She never asks for directions. Nor did she die young as it’s said the good do.

Tatyana Mishel works in a daydream factory as the head pixie in the Manifestation department. She's waiting for the day when the #1 best-seller is a psychological novel in verse. She lives in Seattle where she prays for sun and does the butterfly.
