South Florida Poetry Journal - Nonfiction (Fiction) (Poetry)



Description
Note: one submission per reading period.

We want flash fiction that inspires, stimulates, evokes, emotes, shocks and surprises. We want to be transported by your words to wondrous and strange places, and familiar places that you have made new.

Market Types, Lengths & Pay Scale
Essay
We’re looking for personal essays related to being a writer, and/or visual artist. (We interpret this very broadly!) Highly technical craft essays are not a good fit for us. If you have something you think we’d be interested in, send it our way.

Originals
0 to 1500 words
Non-Paying


Review
We are currently accepting poetry review submissions at SoFloPoJo. If you have something you think we’d be interested in, please send it our way. Or, if you have an in-progress idea on which you’d like a bit of feedback, we’d love to hear from you. Reviews of upcoming or recent work preferred for individual books and anthologies. Reviews of a new book by an author within a retrospective of their previous books and an overview of the publishing trends of a particular publishing house will also be considered. Approximate word count of up to 1,500 words with a balance of reviewer's observations and generous samples of the poetry from the reviewed work.
