Thank you.
We look forward to reading your poems.
GUIDELINES
1 - All poems must be directly related to the Vietnam War,
its aftermath and/or its repercussions.
2 - Previously published poems are welcome
as long as the original publisher is acknowledged.
Poems published on this site remain copyrighted in the poet's name:
Poets will retain all rights to their work
& are accordingly free to publish elsewhere.
However, we would require an acknowledgement for being the original publisher.
3 - Submit 1 - 5 poems at a time.
Please do not submit again until a response is received for the previous submission.
Our editor will try to respond within a week of your submission.
4 - Simultaneous submissions are welcome
as long as we are immediately notified if accepted elsewhere.
5 - Submissions accepted by e-mail only.
Please submit only in Times New Roman font, 12 point.
Subject line should include the words "VWP Submission by [ author's name ]".
Copy-paste poems directly into the body of your e-mail;
single-spaced with no spaces added above or below paragraph.
Please do not send attachments.
Please include previous publications & years of poem(s)
you are now submitting to us.
SUBMIT to: VWPSubmit (at) gmail (dot) com
6 - Please provide a brief cover letter including your biography [ 150 words or less ]
and your website address if you have one.
If you served in the military or are family of a service member or veteran,
we'd like to know about that, too.
You don't need any affiliation with the military to submit; quite the opposite.
We'd love to hear from anybody & everybody who has been moved to write about Vietnam.
Also, we're interested in knowing where/how you heard about us, so please mention that.
Thank you!
7 - Works accepted for publication will undergo a careful review process by our editor
and may require some back and forth between the editor and the author.
8 - Once a poem has been accepted,
changes CANNOT be made even if not yet posted.
All accepted poems are immediately forwarded to the webmaster.
Once the process has started,
the making of changes becomes unduly time-consuming.
Therefore, PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT
UNTIL the work is polished and finished to your satisfaction.
9 - Any submission that does not follow these guidelines
is at risk of being deleted unread.
