The Teacher's Voice
2012 Chapbook Contest
Contributor Guidelines
for Online Publication
We are accepting work on the following themes.
Vol. 3 #1: College Professor: Did you expect it would be like this?
Vol. 3 #2: Open issue.
Vol. 3 #3: Race in American Education
Vol. 3 #4: If I had my way...
How to submit work: We consider unpublished and previously published poems (if you maintain the rights), short short stories, creative nonfiction, and essays-- including simultaneous submissions. Send up to 5 pages of poetry or prose pieces no longer than 2000 words (some exceptions considered). A cover letter is not necessary, but appreciated: are you a teacher, administrator, parent, student, librarian, custodian, coach, security officer, etc? We do not accept responsibility for submissions or queries not accompanied by a SASE with adequate postage. We no longer accept online submissions. Authors should contact us if a submission is accepted elsewhere.
All rights revert to authors after work is first electronically published and archived on this site; material on this site may not be reproduced in any form without written permission from their individual authors. We will publish a "best of" chapbook shortly, and all contributors receive at least 1 copy, more if funds allow. Responses may take over a year; we try for under 6 months.
Advice: Spend a few hours going through the work on our website and links page. Look at what we have done, are doing now, and should be doing. Help with your submissions, responses, donations, and other contributions. Send your best. Play it safe, or not.
