Non-paying but with editor's choice per issue:
The submission period opens May 1, 2010 and will close at midnight August 16, 2010. Snail mail submissions must be postmarked no later than August 15, 2010 in order to be considered.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: THE BASICS
What to submit
Memoir (and) publishes memoirs in many forms. We strive with each issue to include a selection of prose, poetry, graphic memoirs (visit www.guttergeek.com for reviews of graphic narratives), narrative photography and more. No submission is too unusual or traditional to be considered for publication.
Contests
In each of our two yearly reading periods, we select the most outstanding submissions and award four prizes:
Memoir (and) Prize in Prose or Poetry
* Grand Prize: $500
* Second Prize: $250
* Third Prize: $100
There is no fee to enter. All works submitted are eligible to win. See Contests for more details, including the dates when winners will be announced.
Where to submit
We strongly prefer to receive submissions via our online Submission Manager. Snail mail submissions may be addressed to: Memoir (and), PO Box 1398, Sausalito, CA 94966-1398.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: ALL CATEGORIES
1. Only one submission per person per reading period.
2. Please submit either:
* Prose (one submission, maximum 10,000 words) OR
* Poetry (maximum of five poems of any length, all in one document) OR
* Graphic memoir (one submission that will fit on no more than twenty 7” x 10” pages) OR
* Narrative photography (up to five images)
3. We do not accept submissions previously published in print or on the web. (Note: a personal blog is not considered “publication.”)
4. We DO accept simultaneous submissions.
5. Prose and poetry submissions MUST be formatted as .doc .rtf or .txt files. WE DO NOT ACCEPT ANY OTHER FILE TYPES. Sending other file types will result in the rejection of your submission. We regret this strict policy, but it exists because we have software limitations and we must be able to open your submission.
6. Upon publication, we purchase one-time six-month rights, and pay with copies of the journal in which your piece would appear, as well as a one-year subscription. We do not give monetary compensation unless you win a prize.
