SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

We accept e-mail submissions only, with pieces pasted as plain text in the body of the message. Please do not send file attachments--we will ask for a file for formatting purposes should your work be accepted. A short writerly bio (50-100 words) should be included as well.

We require that you put in your e-mail subject line the following information:

LPZ.lastname.genre.month.date.year

...with the date being a month-date-year format. Use periods--no slashes, dashes, umlauts, parens, schwas (schwae?) between each of these pieces of information. This submission, for instance, came from a person with the surname O'Hara, who will sent us poetry to LPZ on July 4th, 1958—

LPZ.OHara.poetry.7.4.1958

Paste the your work in the body of the e-mail. Please, again, no file-attachments. No links to other sites where the work appears. No Zipped files. If something is italicized, you could, as a suggestion, place asterisks before and after *to denote that it's italicized*.

This nifty system is simple, lo-fi, and ensures efficient filing for editors and authors alike.

E-mail your poetry, fiction, and other media to the editors, Jeffrey Salane and Danielle Pafunda, at lapetitezine@yahoo.com.

We suggest 3-5 poems max, essays and fiction of under 2000 words, Use your best judgment for the freakazoid stuff, and at your own risk. The writerly bio should appear in the beginning of the submission. Allow up to two months (that's eight weeks) for us to get back to you.

We acquire First Rights, or one-time rights. Copyright reverts back to you after it's published.
