Tips From the Editor
We have limited space in each edition, and therefore shorter pieces are more suitable – although longer items of exceptional quality may still be included. A maximum length of 3,500 words is suggested. Please send no more than four poems, and no more than one prose work to a maximum of 3,500 words in total. All submissions should be made online via Submittable: https://nws.submittable.com/submit Please do not put your name on your submission. If you are sending more than one piece, group everything into one document. Submission is free, and authors retain all rights to their work(s).
