LiteraryMary, journal of the beautiful, unusual and eclectic, publishes our annual journal every January 1st in celebration of the anniversary of our steadily growing website of the same name. We accept submissions of poetry, fiction, and black and white photography every June 1st - August 31st. We are also open to experimental pieces that don't necessarily fall into any of those categories. To familiarize yourself with our eclectic style, feel free to purchase a journal. Or you can get a feel for what we publish through some of the links offered on our home page. We publish a myriad of styles, our main concern being that what you submit is written well. We do not believe that good writing needs to be style specific, but it does need to be sincere, honest and absolutely free of grammatical errors, spelling errors and the kind of mistakes professionals just don't make. Please no previously published work. Simultaneous submissions are fine, but let us know if your work gets accepted somewhere else as soon as possible. Finally, we ask that if your writing has been workshopped over the internet you take it offline when you submit to us. Submit to us. I like the sound of that.
If you are interested, please send up to six of your best pieces of poetry regardless of length and/or up to three pieces of fiction, for a total of no more than 4000 words, as one attachment (using either .doc, .rtf, or .wpd file extensions) to lmsubmissions@gmail.com. Please use separate attachments for fiction and poetry. Experimental pieces and black and white photography should also be sent to this address. Please include your name and the best description you can come up with for what you're submitting in the subject line, such as 'poetry' or 'fiction' etc. Don't forget to include the email address at which you'd prefer to be contacted and a short bio. Submissions will be chosen in a mostly anonymous process and we will notify you whether or not you've been accepted in as timely a manner as possible. Again, we are open to submissions from July 1st - August 31st. Payment is one contributor's copy since our staff works on a volunteer basis and that's all we can afford right now. Extra copies are available for purchase on the LiteraryMary website, and hopefully at a bookstore near you. Regardless, we will eventually take over the world.
