FORMATTING

All material will be, as far as is possible, displayed in the style in which it is
submitted, but occasionally in order to publish it in our magazine, some changes
may need to be made.

Copyright:

All work should be your own material and you should own all the rights.

If work is chosen, you grant us permission for single use in one of our magazines, and use in a future anthology selected from work in the online magazines. We also have the permission to read examples of work from the magazine on radio shows, like Lincoln’s Siren Radio, at launches, etc. You retain copyright of your work.

ABOUT SENDING IN YOUR WORK

We prefer unpublished work, but will print previously published material (with an acknowledgement of where it has already appeared) that we love.

It is also a requirement to send:

 a short biography (about 200 words or so) and
 a good resolution photograph with your submission.

We accept multiple submissions, but please let us know to withdraw a piece if it has been accepted elsewhere.

We are open to many styles and approaches, covering different subjects, so please send in to:  impspired@gmail.com in a Word file.

And please label your file with YOUR name so I can find it again! At the moment I have a lot of files labelled Impspired.

In everything submitted, we are looking for work for which shows care and attention
to style,  language and form, and which has obviously been conscientiously self-
edited several times so that every word counts.

All work will be read, and a decision on whether or not to include it will be emailed to you – but please be patient.

Poetry – free verse, strict form, prose poems, haiku, concrete
poetry  etc. etc. are all appreciated, but strong imagery, careful choice of language and surprises are particularly welcome.

Short fiction – again surprise us! In pieces no longer than 3000 words.
