Call for submissions: Poetry wanted

As editors of The Pedestal Magazine we intend to support both established and burgeoning writers. We are committed to promoting diversity and celebrating the voice of the individual.
All queries should be sent to pedmagazine@carolina.rr.co m.

The Pedestal Magazine does not accept previously published work, unless specifically requested; however, we will accept simultaneous submissions, if so noted. Please inform us immediately if your submission is accepted elsewhere. Also, we do not accept submissions by direct mail. Neither do we accept direct email submissions. Please use the submission form (if submitting poetry for the April 2010 issue, please see below). If you send us work, please wait for a response to your first submission before you submit again.

We are currently receiving submissions in the following areas:

Poetry: We are open to a wide variety of poetry, ranging from the highly experimental to the traditionally formal. There are no length restrictions. There is no need to query prior to submitting poetry. Submit up to six (6) poems. Please submit all poems in one (1) form.

Pay Rate: $40 per poem (for April 2010 issue, see below).

The April 2010 poetry section will feature “visual poetry.” John M. Bennett and Bob Grumman will be editing a visual poem gallery to be included in Pedestal’s April issue.

Spoken Word/Slam: We are currently accepting submissions of slam, spoken word, poetry with music, and performance poetry. For this category, we are not interested in "straight" or "traditional" readings of poems.

If interested, please send one (1) sample piece as an attachment in mp3 format to
pedmagazine@carolina.rr.com. Please keep in mind that all mp3 files must
be no larger than 7mb.

Pay Rate: $10 per track
