2021 Anthology Submission Guidelines
​
Theme: Erosion

This can be interpreted loosely
​

Prose/Poetry Submission Dates:  June 1 through August 31 (midnight)
Photo/Cover Art Deadline – September 1 (midnight) 
Prose/Poetry/Nonfiction Entry Rules:

Who Can Submit: 
  • Must be a California Writers Club, Mendocino branch, member in good standing at the 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. Edit yourself for grammar, punctuation, and development BEFORE you send out. THIS IS IMPORTANT—THANKS.

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, .ODT, .DAT or others. The submission 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.
  • Please don’t include page numbers or headers in your submission.​
  • 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 the piece. Again, send a separate email with each piece entry.
  • ALSO, include an attachment with a 50 word maximum biography in 3rd person.
  • 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  • UNPUBLISHED work only will be accepted.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.
  • E-mail the pieces with "Erosion Submission" in the subject line to the 2021 anthology editor, Nona Smith, at nonarenee1@aol.com.
​
Photo submission requirements:
  • The 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
  • The 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
