PP's Updated Call for Submissions

 

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES [Revised]

WARRANTY & AGREEMENT 

By submitting to PP, the submitter warrants that 

s/he alone has created the work s/he is submitting and that 

s/he owns all rights to it. The submitter will indemnify and 

hold PP and its staff harmless from and against any and all loss,

 damage, costs and other expenses arising out of claims, 

whatever their nature, resulting directly or indirectly 

from breach of this warranty. At the same time, 

the submitter/contributor agrees that PP can use 

part or all of his/her accepted material, including responses 

to PP's interview questions, on its Facebook and/or 

other similar social networking vehicles for promotional purposes.

* All poetic and photographic works are carefully read/viewed 

year round on a rolling basis for PP's annual anthology, 

due out on or around 5 May;

* Multiple and simultaneous submissions, as well as previously published work, 

are all equally welcome insofar as you still hold the copy/publishing rights;

* sorry, this is not a paying market, (nor can we even afford to 

provide a complimentary copy to each contributor, )

but a publication for true lovers of words and wisdom;

* Please send up to 5 of your best shortish poems each time 

by pasting them all together with a brief 3rd person bio note
within the body of your email

to editors.pp@gmail.com, 

or visual artworks as individual separate attachments;

*  Please feel welcome to send us a query if, for instance, 

your accepted work does not appear as scheduled;

* Our response-time is four months though usually much shorter than that, &

only those accepted will get a reply;

* we do not require you to mention us as the first publisher of your work,

but your mentioning would be much appreciated;

Once accepted by PP, please allow at least two years/issues
before submitting new work to us

- Many thanks for your kind support of PP & Gooooodluuuuck!

Basic Guidelines for Preparing a Manuscript

1.     Proofread everything carefully to make sure there are no typos, misspellings or improper uses of capitalization & punctuation marks.

2.     Single-space all the textual content;

3.     Stick to the same font, preferably ‘times new roman’ (12) for sake of conformity;

4.     Use font sizes (for titles or sub-titles), italics, boldface, underlines in a consistent and conventional fashion;

5.     Provide a cover image/photo in a separate file, if any;

6.     Include no more than 5 high-resolution illustrations (images/photos) for a chapbook, 10 for a full-length book, whose sizes should be less than 3/5 of a standard doc page (11x8.5 inches);

7.     Provide a ‘devotion page’  (optional);

8.     Provide a ‘acknowledgements’ or ‘attribution list’ page (work title, followed by publication name, & date/issue number if any);

9.     Provide a ‘table of contents’;

10.   Paginate the text of the (chap)book beginning from the first poem or first page of the prosework;

11.    Provide an ‘author page’;

12.     Provide 3 to 5 blurbs (optional)

Note: failure to comply with the above or provide a camera/print-ready ms would result in eventual termination of the publication process.

MANY THANKS FOR YOUR KIND COOPERATION!
