SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Read up, as a few little things have changed. We accept e-mail submissions only. Please send your work either as an attachment, or pasted directly into the e-mail. A short bio (short, we say) should be included as well.

Please send work in all genres. And all non- or anti-genres. We are also considering visual work that we might loosely classify as literary. What does that mean? You tell us.

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.

When you are paste work into the text of your e-mail and something is italicized, you will want to place asterisks before and after *to denote that it's italicized*.

HEY! 3-5 poems MAX! Essays and fiction under 2000 words! No teeny-tiny font! One submission at a time! Send links at your own discretion; we might not visit them. We've got eclectic tastes, so use your best judgment. We do suggest you read our current and some of our previous issues before submitting. No excuses; they're free and they're good! We reserve the right to have extreme, unfair, or wacky opinions on the submissions that come into our inbox. We are not objective! Any deviation from these guidelines had better be pretty darn amusing!

Please allow two months (that's eight whole weeks) for a response. If, after two months, you haven't heard from us, please feel free to check if we're still breathing. Check nice! We don't like to be bullied.

Please feel free to e-mail us for additional information on these guidelines or with any other concerns, questions, recipes, etc. you may have. Within reason!

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

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