No unsolicited submissions, please. Chapman no longer appears regularly. Writers may wish to consult the editor for comments on their work, but this must be negotiated beforehand. Work can be submitted by email or by post with return postage should that be required. Please follow the guidelines below, including in attachments.
* Poetry: send four to ten poems – laid out so that the shape and structure of the work is shown to best
advantage (12 font/15-16 line space ideal). One poem to each sheet.
Email – best attached all the poems in one file, with a page break at the end of each poem.
* Fiction: any length, any topic, but average is 3,000 words – the criterion is quality. No more than one item at a time. We are looking for fiction which is challenging, surprising, different – in some way.
* Prose: critical articles are usually commissioned, but suggestions/ideas are always welcome.
* Illustrations/artwork: largely no point in this, but some might relate to a work the editor has been asked to comment on.
Prose and fiction must be double-line-spaced.. Use double quotes for dialogue and quotations, indicate italics as appropriate.
* Poetry, occasionally short fiction, drama: We do NOT publish novels.
Only a very few special projects are being carried forward.
Please do not submit unsolicited work or ideas, unless by negotiation with the editor.
