Submissions for Matchbook:

Pieces of Poetry must follow the size specifications of no more than 22 characters in width (counting spaces), & no more than 24 lines in length.  Fiction or Non-Fiction pieces can have up to 48 lines (also with no more than 22 characters in width). If a piece is larger than this it cannot be considered for the journal.

Submissions should consist of no more than 12 pieces & are open to poetry, fiction, & any other endeavor that will fit the size requirements.  I am particularly interested in publishing collaborative projects.

For artwork, please send work that will translate well to black & white in a very small space (a 1.25" X 1.25" square). Send either clean photocopies or a .PDF file and not your original copies.

I do not currently accept simultaneous submissions or previously published material. Please include a self-addressed, stamped envelope for reply & contact information with all snail mail submissions. Or email your submission as an attached pdf or word file to smallfirespress@yahoo.com.

Submissions for Manuscripts:

Manuscript submissions are currently closed to unsolicited manuscripts in every genre except for collaborations. Submitting to Matchbook would be a great way for me to become acquainted with your work.
