Guidelines

Submissions for our Autumn issue will open in August.  Keep an eye on this website (and the forthcoming classified ad in Poets & Writers magazine) for additional information.

Of course, you're welcome to get in touch at anytime, to check in...

Each well-written poem and/or story should be in a separate file, attached to an email.  Please include, in the body of the email, your current "relationship" with Danville (Illinois for Volume 1), along with any additional biographical information (Contributor's Notes) should one or more of your submissions be selected for publication.

For the Autumn issue, we invite poetry and prose from any writer living (or once lived) in any of the 24 Danvilles in the United States.  

         Here's the address:      submissions@pulse-and-echo.com

In general, our team prefers Times Roman (12 or 14 point) though we appreciate the urge to be creative.  1 (One) inch margins are the minimum guideline for "blank space" that serves to frame the writing.

We appreciate long fictions, and short ones, too.  Our guidelines (no more than 5000  words, double-spaced) are only reflections of our hope to include as many different works by as many different writers as possible.

Consider the shape of the poem on the page (because the reader sees the poem before they read the poem...)  Prose poetry and poetic prose are also welcome, but no more than 3 pages for any single poem, please.

Send us a quick snapshot for consideration, as cover art (color) or black-and-white within or between stories.  If selected, we'll get in touch about pixels and clarity before we go to print.
