(Revised, with length increased and from a wider geographic area, plus poetry is now accepted.)
WRITING GUIDELINES FOR THE OXFORD SO AND SO A Southern literary journal with no advertising. 56 PAGES PER ISSUE - $4.00 PER COPY (For Third Anniversary/Christmas Issue - Nov-Dec) DEADLINE: NOV. 1ST, 2008
THE OXFORD SO & SO is a bi-monthly
SOUTHERN oriented journal of nostalgia, clean
humor/satire, poetry, history, jokes, etc. "SO & SO" is an
acronym for "Southern Owned & Southern Operated." A
non-political, non-racist hard copy only. Now entering our
Fourth year!
Like many literary journals (revenue from subscriptions
only) "SO & SO" pays in copies:
FICTION/NON-FICTION: 0 to 350 words - ONE copy. (NOTE:
This is a change from before which will allow us to publish MORE
writers.) 351 Words on up - TWO copies for the first article in
an issue and ONE copy for each additional in the same issue.
Articles should be about 1000 words or less. This is flexible
but shorter articles always have a better chance of being
published.
POETRY: ONE copy for each poem regardless of length.
Rhyming poetry is preferred and, like everything else, it should
be Southern flavored or short four-five line
witty limericks, etc.
NOSTALGIC HUMOR GOES OVER WELL!
You DO NOT have to be a subscriber to be published.
NOT an anthology or vanity press.
The best way to really get a grasp of the genre SO & SO
publishes is to order a back issue for $4 ppd. A one year
subscription of six issues (with NO advertising) is only $14.00.
SO & SO has now published 145 different writers. Some
of whom had their writing "take off" after being initially
published in SO & SO.
The Nov-Dec issue will be both the Third Anniversary
Issue and our annual Christmas Issue.
Thank you for your time today and I hope to receive a
submission from you for consideration for the upcoming issue.
Best
regards,
