Subject: The Winter issue is out!

Hello all, I just wanted to let every one know that the Winter issue is out! Besides the usual poetry and short stories, it features the artwork of Mildred and Jim McHugh, as well as photography by Andrea Szegedy, all of which I'm sure you will enjoy . :)

I've also developed the first ever reader's poll, which can be viewed here:

Any input is greatly appreciated and if you don' t feel like filling out the poll, just message or comment me with suggestions.

Thanks!

Issue #8: the Spring/April issue

Poetry/prose: limit to four poems

Short stories: up to 2,500 words; no min. word count for flash fiction

Travel writing: city/country profiles that a traveler forms by sharing experiences, photos, mentioning places to go, etc

Reviews of all kinds: Debris does not currently write reviews, but we do publish them. Reviews can be of mostly anything, including music, movies, books, events, etc

Artwork: Debris does not accept art submissions; we only feature chosen artists in a showcase format, like other art magazines. It is strongly suggested to check out the artwork section to get a good understanding of what we do. To be considered for a featured artist slot, submit 8-10 images of your work, a bio and/or artist statement. A different artist will be featured each month, instead of quarterly.

Note: Art can be anything…paintings, drawings, crafts, installations, street art…so don’t feel that because you don’t necessarily fit into a box of what art is, that means there’s no sense in sending your work in. Not true!

Photography: Debris does not accept photography submissions; we only feature chosen photographers in a showcase format, like other art magazines. It is strongly suggested to check out the photography section to get a good understanding of what we do. To be considered for a featured photographer slot, submit 8-10 images of your work, a bio and/or artist statement. A different photographer will be featured each month, instead of quarterly.

Simultaneous submissions: We gladly accept these kinds of submissions; however we require a notice when the work has been accepted so we can withdraw it from consideration.

Payment: At this time we are unable to provide payment for works, but hope to do so in the future. However, if chosen to be in the anthology, a discount or free issue will be provided. Also, if you have a small business or side project you’d like to advertise, free banner or affiliate advertising may be available.

Legal: We only accept non published works and ask for first time publication rights and one-time anthology rights. Otherwise authors/artists retain all rights to their works and their respective copyrights.

Publishing schedule:

Summer-July 1, submission deadline June 21
Fall-October 1, submission deadline Sept. 21
Winter-January 1, submission deadline Dec. 21
Spring-April 1, submission deadline March 21

Send work to editor@debrismagazine.com as either a .doc or .rtf attachment. If you have the latest version of Word, it’ll have to be in .rtf format, since I do not have this version. Do not copy and paste into email.

Please include your name, mailing address and email. If wishing the submission to be listed as anonymous, make sure you say so.

**Please make sure you receive a confirmation email from me before you assume I have received your work. Countless emails have disappeared in my spam/junk box never to be seen again.

Rejection Policy: Debris receives an enormous amount of submissions and due to this fact, will no longer be issuing individual rejection notices. If you do not receive an acceptance response within 30 days of submitting your work, unfortunately your work was not chosen to be published. Please wait until the 30 days have passed before submitting other work.
