General Guidelines

Voices de la Luna: A Quarterly Poetry & Arts Magazine accepts English language submissions from writers all over the world, publishing quarterly in print and online. Publication dates are 15 January, 15 April, 15 July, and 15 October.  Submissions must be received two months prior to publication date to be considered for the next issue. All submissions should be sent to voicesdelaluna.submishmash.com.

Prose
Short stories or flash fiction of up to 5000 words.
Poetry
Up to 3 original poems per month per writer, 28 (or fewer) lines of no more than 60 characters each.

We believe it is up to the poet to break longer lines in the way that s/he sees fit.
Youth Prose and Poetry
Youth submissions must include the writer’s name, age, name of school, and grade level. The consent form on the website must be sent with your submission. Please note that youth writers must not yet have graduated high school and be no more than 18 years old. 
General Submissions Guidelines:
1. Submissions are accepted through Submishmash. 
2. Include your name, e-mail address, mailing address, and telephone number on each poem submitted, and on the first page of each prose manuscript.
3. Brief biographical notes help us understand who we are reaching. However, contributors’ notes will not be published. Work will be selected for publication based solely on literary quality and the way each individual piece of writing meets our current needs.
4. Simultaneous submissions are acceptable as long as we are informed by e-mail immediately (with title and submission date) if you need to withdraw the work from our consideration.
5. Submissions may have been previously published, as long as the writer provides that information and currently holds the rights. If work has been translated, include the translator’s name for credit. In some cases, we may publish short poems in both languages side-by-side.
6. We do not pay contributors. We contact writers only if work has been accepted, letting them know that their piece will appear in the up-coming issue. This notification will come immediately before an issue goes to print, not sooner.
