Guidelines

Guidelines:  Send fiction, poetry, nonfiction and art to editor@wordsonwalls.net.

Submissions are ONLY accepted electronically. Send to editor@wordsonwalls.net. Include your name and genre in the subject line. Copy the text of your submission into the body of the email and introduce yourself with a short bio. (NOTE: This is a new submission guideline. All email submissions with attachments will be deleted unread.)

Send no more than three to five poems or two fiction or creative nonfiction pieces at a time. Wait until you hear from us before you submit any additional work. Due to the volume of submissions we receive, if you send us multiple submissions, we will delete all but the first one unread.

Simultaneous submissions are acceptable, as long as you notify us immediately if work is accepted elsewhere. Please include a short bio with links to previously published work.

We will publish previously published work; however, responsibility for obtaining reprint rights rests with the author; we will, of course, credit the original publication.

What are we Looking for?

Words on Walls is an online literary fresco published quarterly in ether. Should we find the resources, a print edition is always a wondrous possibility.

We prefer short fiction, poetry and essays that make us step back breathless.

 

Fiction and Creative Nonfiction:

We prefer shorter, edgy stories with characters that feel real, hyper-alive within the context of what they make happen or what happens to them. Flash fiction is welcome. Lyrical prose should make us swirl. Genre fiction should first be literary. Preferred length is under 1,000 words.

Poetry:

Words on Walls seeks poetry that leaves us reeling. We know it when we see it. Send three to five poems.

Artwork:

Artwork should be sent electronically, in Web resolution (72dpi) JPG format.

Multimedia work:

We love to see the way electronic presentation is transforming the written word. Flash format, please.
