General Submission Guidelines

1. The Shit Creek Review intends to publish every two months starting from November, 2006, and seeks to present high-quality original work in the fields of poetry, art, and prose criticism, as well as in other creative or analytic areas.
   
   
2. We hope to publish on the first day of each second month. Submissions should be made by the fifth day of the month prior to publication. So, submissions for the March edition should be in by the 5th of February.
   
   
3. In poetry, we are biased towards formalism, but by no means dismissive of vers libre. We are looking for original work which deals with a wide variety of issues and imagery, including that which might test or challenge boundaries, or disturb sensibilities. But it must be well executed. Please do not send us work which has not been extensively drafted and polished. We definitely do not seek poems about toilet issues. People who submit such poems have misunderstood the overarching ethos of Shit Creek.
   
   
4. Previous publication is not an issue as long as the previous publisher does not hold copyright. You must inform us of any previous publication when you submit. Posting to blogs or online workshops is not in our opinion publishing, so any such poems or other pieces are clearly eligible. But the person who submits work must be the original author. We reserve the right to archive your work as part of this site, and with your specific consent to publish it in a print anthology later, but all other rights remain with the author.
   
   
5. We accept simultaneous submissions, but please inform us immediately if the submission is accepted elsewhere.
   
   
6. Poets should submit 1 - 5 poems. Contributions should be sent in the body of an email, or as .doc file attachments if necessary to preserve formatting: text contributions, whether poetry or prose, should be single-spaced. Please include the word “Submission” in the subject line of your email.
   
   
7. Visual arts contributions should be as .jpeg files and may be sent as attachments. Image submissions should be original work or cite relevant permissions from copyright owners.
   
   
8. All contributors should include brief third person biographical details of up to five lines.
   
   
9. We will attempt to acknowledge receipt of all submissions within two weeks of arrival.
   
   
10. Payment for publication in The Shit Creek Review is not possible in this life, but contributors will be rewarded in the next. On the other hand the editors are very receptive to offers (redeemable in this life) of cash bribes, vouchers, favours, and so forth.
