GUIDELINES

**** No simultaneous submissions!  ****

Narrative poems (50-line maximum)

Flash fiction (1,000-word maximum) 


-The poem or tale must have a beginning, middle, and end and reveal something about the character(s).
It needn’t be an Earth-shattering secret or f
law, but thought-provoking or emotionally evocative.

-Edgar Allan Poe avowed that a story ought to be readable in its entirety in one sitting.
Who are we to argue?

-Another time period, foreign planet...would be refreshing, interesting. But kindly don’t challenge our taste buds. Gratuitous sex, graphic violence--anything defamatory/hateful,
rantingly political, et cetera will not be published. 
Mess with our heads, not our stomachs! 
​



​☠️


CARVED-IN-PUDDINGSTONE FORMAT GUIDELINES

*Submit a maximum of 5 poems and/or two stories in the body of an e-mail to
tell-tale-editor@outlook.com
Include a short bio and your JPEG photo.

*Left-margin aligned, 12-pt. font. No creative spacing, thank you.  It's a pain to cut and paste.  

*No work previously published in print will be considered.  Work that has appeared online may be submitted, but write a note with a link to the journal  in which the work was published.

*SUBMIT ARTWORK as JPEGS ONLY.

*SUBJECT LINE: Tell-Tale Inklings Submission. "TTI Submit" is also fine.
Just try not to irritate the hyperactive junk filter.


*Current payment is nothing but glory, and the writer relinquishes future monetary claims to any version of the publication (for example, an e-book ). 
TTC is a tiny, independent press. The publisher will be lucky to break even. 




Thank you for your interest in the press!
