Quill & Parchment: Guidelines

Quill & Parchment Submission Guidelines

Quill & Parchment is on the lookout for new writers with not only a story, but with the voice to articulate that story. We are currently seeking submissions of poetry, as well as shorter fiction and non-fiction. We regret that due to space limitations, not all submissions can be published. We may save some pieces for publication at a later time.

Short submissions may be included in the body of an email to:
(To turn this into a real email address before mailing, Please remove the spaces around the @ )

qpsubmissions @ quillandparchment.com

Please write Submission in the subject header .

How it should look~~~>

Also its very important that you do not include any links in your email, since we are filtering out and deleting all emails with links in them because of Spammers* (See note below). If you wish to send links to your website or other sites of interest please let us know and we will send you an address you can email them to.

Please inquire prior to sending excessively large documents via file attachment.

If you would kindly check out our poetry section and make sure your poem is in our preferred format it cuts down on our time in templating same..

It goes without saying that submissions should be spelled checked and edited for content prior to being sent. We may occasionally make small editorial changes, or ask the author do so. This should not be construed as cause for offense. Quill & Parchment prides itself on not being just another self-publishing web site. Actual human eyes carefully evaluate all submissions. Once your poem has been accepted you may not withdraw it. It takes time for us to template the poems and frequently the art work is created with your poem in mind. We do not mind simultaneous submissions or previously published poems.

. If your publishing goal is to have anything and everything published exactly as written, may we kindly suggest that you look elsewhere?

At the present time, we are unable to pay for submissions, but we are hopeful that will change as our subscriber base grows. Currently, your membership fees are applied toward our hosting and production costs. Our staff is unsalaried but dedicated.

*Dear Poets and Writers and Readers,
We have been inundated with SPAM from a plethora of low life individuals, bottom feeders as it were. We ask you to refrain from sending e~mails with your website link in them because our SPAM Assassin will delete them. Also we have to have you snug up the spaces in our email above to have it work..because these automated Spam programs grab the email address out of the page creating havoc in our box's here..

Dear Low Life Bottom Feeders,
Stop sending us your trash. NO one reads them. They are just deleted as they should be.
