Why? Because we love spring and we love summer, and we love reading poems and essays and strange stories by wonderful writers, even ones with spiders.
Because we are done reading for this year’s HoneyBee Prize and are anxiously awaiting results from the five judges. And because we don’t want that pesky $3 fee to cause people to hold any grudges.
Too much? OK. Maybe we’re doing it because we can.
Guidelines are available on our submission page and the form to send work is available on Submittable (be sure to select the fee-free option, unless you want to give us moneys, which is OK too).
As a reminder, we nominate for Pushcart, Best of the Net, Best New Poets, Best Small Fictions and… YES we are a paying market! ($60 per piece published in the seasonal issue, $25 per piece published in Micro Monday, $50 for cover art).
Your work will be handled with care and read by at least two (typically three or more) members of our editorial team.
