Matter Journal Submission Guidelines

 

General Guidelines

SUBMIT either electronically (as attachment to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) or hardcopy to Wolverine Farm Publishing, P.O. Box 814, Fort Collins, CO 80522. If you sent a hardcopy and your work is accepted, you'll likely be asked to provide an electronic version.

 

PROSE (fiction, nonfiction, interviews): up to 5000 words, double-spaced 12-pt font (such as Times New Roman, Garamond, or similar), title on first page, no name on manuscript, paginate.

 

POETRY: up to 5 pages, single-spaced okay, 12-pt font, titles of poems, no name on pages.

 

VISUAL ART (photographs, collages, paintings, illustrations): 300 dpi, prefer JPEG, TIF, PDF, submit electronically, either via e-mail or saved to a CD and mailed to us. Submit both color and B&W in case we choose your piece for cover, color insert, or all-color journal.

 

COVER LETTER: Include name, address, phone number, e-mail, and TITLES of pieces you're submitting. Keep the letter short, bare-bones. Publications lists and advanced degrees don't tell us much. The quality of your work is what matters most, but if you need to include any relevant background information to help us to better appreciate your piece, then fine, put that in, but for god's sakes keep it short.

 

SIMULTANEOUS SUBMISSIONS are okay, but you'll need to contact us ASAP if a piece you submitted to us has been accepted elsewhere.

 

RESPONSE TIME: We'll let you know by e-mail when we've received your manuscript (it's automatic if you submit online). As far as a decision regarding acceptance for publication, our response time is generally between 3 and 6 months after receipt. If you've had no word from us in over 6 months, feel free to contact us by e-mail or visit the office and bop us gently on the noggin.

 

PAYMENT: If your work is published, you'll receive two free copies of the issue in which your work appears.
