Submit
Inscape is currently accepting submissions for the 2011 issue. The deadline is Wednesday, October 27, 2010.
You may submit one fiction piece, one nonfiction piece and up to five poems (prose poems are welcome). Prose shorter than 3,500 words is preferred, but longer pieces of exceptional quality may be considered. Previously published work will not be considered. If the selected writing has been submitted to other publications, please let us know.
Formatting requirements: typed, 12-point Times New Roman font. Include a cover sheet with name, title of work(s), genre, wordcount, email address, phone number and mailing address.
DO NOT include your name on the pages of the manuscript itself.
Submit via email with separate attachments for cover sheet and written work to inscapesubmission@gmail.com, with the applicable genre noted in the subject field (i.e. “FICTION”). If submitting more than one poem, please submit each poem in a separate file attachment (unless the poems are a series to be considered as a single unit). Please simply provide your poem’s title at the top of its page and then give us the poem–no quirky fonts or other visual layers (i.e. pencil sketches of coyotes) beyond line breaks and spacing.
Electronic submission is highly preferred, but manuscripts may be delivered here: INSCAPE 2011, Washburn University, English Department, Morgan Hall Room 258, Topeka, KS, 66621.
A special note for members of the Washburn and Topeka communities: Please note that inscape editors began utilizing a “blind” or anonymous reading process. They will carefully read your submission… But they won’t know who wrote it.
Deadline for inscape 2011: Wednesday, October 27, 2010. Regarding material selected for inclusion in the journal, inscape reserves first right of publication and indefinite use of the material online. Questions or concerns may be sent to inscapeeic@gmail.com.
