Formatting
If your poems rely on specific formatting on the page, sending a PDF is the surest way to preserve that formatting for us to see and appreciate. Note that Constellations is printed in 12-point Times New Roman on pages that are 6 inches wide (4.5 inches usable width), so long poem lines may be wrapped and preservation of special formatting may not be possible.
Author's rights
Because we need to be able to form a legal contract with any contributor to allow us first North American serial rights, all submitters must be 18 or older. (Copyright remains with the artist.)
