Submission Guidelines

Weave Magazine is CLOSED to all submissions

We will reopen April 15, 2010
In the meantime...

We very strongly recommend that you BUY A COPY of Weave before submitting to get a better idea of what we are looking for -- it really does help. Also, running a print publication is an expensive venture, and we would appreciate your support! If not you, then who?

General Guidelines:

• Please submit work via email attachment to weavezine@gmail.com
• In the subject line include the following: Submission: [genre] - [first name] [last name] (Submission: Poetry- Hannah Gordon)
• Written submissions use a rich text file (.rtf) or Microsoft Word document (.doc file type only) and include your name in the header so it appears on all pages of your work.
• Visual art submissions should be a high resolution image file (ie: .jpg) or as a scanned Adobe document (.pdf).
• Simultaneous submissions are encouraged, but we ask that you PLEASE inform us immediately if your work is accepted elsewhere so we can celebrate with you.
• Please submit only ONCE per reading period, unless the editors request otherwise.
• Please do not query before three months have passed.
  

Specific Guidelines:

Poetry

• Submit 3-5 poems at a time. (Seriously. 3-5 poems. Not 6. 6 is not within the 3-5 range.)
• There is no official line limit to poetry; if your six page poem is amazing it would be considered, however it's probably not that amazing.

Fiction

• Unsolicited submissions should be no longer than 1500 words
  
• For pieces longer than 1500, please submit a query letter and include the title, word count and a basic synopsis of the piece.
• No genre fiction please
• Please please please avoid sending fiction within the body of your e-mail! It is difficult to reformat and we'll just need a .doc or .rtf file from you if we accept your work anyway.

Creative Non-fiction

• Unsolicited submissions should be no longer than 1500 words
• For pieces longer than 1500, please submit a query letter and include the title, word count and a basic synopsis of the piece.
• Same as above in regards to the file type. .doc or .rtf.

Flash Fiction

• Submit up to 3 pieces at once

Short Plays

• One Acts/Monologues
• Not to exceed 4000 words
• .rtf or .doc

Visual Art

• B&W Photography, pen and ink drawing, digital fine art
• FYI: At this time, Weave Magazine has no plans to print in color, except for the cover artwork which we have already solicited for.

No previously published work, please! - (by Weave's definition, a piece has been previously published if it has appeared in another journal, either paper or electronic, in a book or chapbook - even a self-published one - or is currently online in a public blog or on a public forum)

Payment: Unfortunately, we cannot afford to be a paying market at this time. However, all contributors will receive one free copy of the issue that their work appears in.

Notice: If your work has been published by Weave Magazine, please allow for two issues to be published before resubmitting, even if you are submitting in a different genre. For example, if you are published in issue 01, you may resubmit for issue 04.

Feel free to contact us at weavezine@gmail.com if you have any questions regarding the submission process.
