Reading period is January 1 through April 30 and September 1 through October 31.

MAGAZINES NEEDS Also considers poetry by children and teens. Submit 1-4 poems at a time. Accepts e-mail submissions only (pasted into body of message; no attachments.) Use plain text and include a brief bio. Often comments on rejected poems. Receives about 50 poems/year, accepts about 50%. Does not want “pornography, cursing, swearing; nothing evoking despair.” Length: 6-24 lines. No payment.

TIPS Wants “simple, honest, evocative emotion; upbeat fiction and nonfiction submissions that give hope for the future; well-paced plots; stories, poetry, articles, essays that speak from the heart. Read guidelines carefully. Use a good, but not ostentatious, opening hook. Stories should have a beginning, middle, and end that make the reader feel the story was worth his or her time. This also applies to articles and essays. In the latter 2, wrap your comments and conclusions in a neatly packaged final paragraph. Turnoffs include violence and bad language. Simple, genuine, and sensitive work does not need to shock with vulgarity to be interesting and enjoyable.”
