Who Can Submit:
- Must be a CWC-Mendocino member in good standing at time of submission
What to Submit:
- Prose (fiction, nonfiction, drama) or poetry, two pieces maximum, and two pieces combined cannot exceed 4,000 words.
- Send only publishing-ready pieces. So edit yourself for grammar, punctuation, and development BEFORE you send out.
Submission Guidelines:
- The pages must have one inch margins and the writer will use a 12 pt. Times New Roman font.
- Double space prose pieces
- Must use a .rtf, .doc or .docx format (NO .pdf or .odt or .dat or others please—these will be returned)
- DO NOT put your name anywhere on the piece itself. That information goes in the e-mail that has the piece attached.
- Each piece sent must be in separate e-mails. Send the piece as an attachment—your cover email will state the genre type, word count, and name of piece. Again, send a separate email with each piece entry.
- ALSO, include an attachment with a 50 word maximum biography of yourself in 3rd person.
- Paginate prose pieces with the piece title and page number (again, your name should not appear)
- DO NOT include any audio or visual with your piece. The piece must stand alone.
- UNPUBLISHED work only will be accepted. Self-published books counts as published.
- Send pieces to 2019 Anthology editor at maureenE@mcn.org
Photo submissions requirements:
- Contributor must own the rights to reproduce the image
- Digital submissions only
- Include written photo title or physical location
- Watermark or other labeling on the photo should be removed
- High resolution (300 dpi is enough)
- Appropriate for the theme
- Photo will be printed without color. Color submissions accepted
- Best in matching series of 8-10
For Cover Photos:
- Color with images/patterns that are very dark or light (the image needs areas for text placement, like sky and/or water)
- Landscape orientation for continuous front to back cover photos
- Portrait orientation for front cover photos under the title
