SUBMISSION DETAILS/GUIDELINES:

Sugar Mule does not pay for accepted work(s) at this time.
We wish had grant or advertising money to pay for such
--we are always exploring possibilities so check back if that is a concern for you.

Sugar Mule wishes to use only new material
not seen before elsewhere on the internet.

As to rights, you retain all rights to your work; we retain none.

Before submitting, please check the READING SCHEDULE of upcoming issues
(on the 2nd page of the website),
as there are periods when we do not read submissions for some time.

Otherwise, we welcome submissions of poetry, fiction, and all genres of non-fiction--
however search engine restrictions force SM
to put certain words in this form: "f---" for example.

Submit ONLY VIA EMAIL or by email file attachment

if by file attachment be SURE to include YOUR NAME and EMAIL ADDRESS
on every page of the attached file

send files in any version of
an MS Word, rtf, ascii, html or .txt file to:

If accepted you will be required to bracket any italicized or bolded words
in your work with the HTML marks <i> and </i>; and <b> and </b>,
respectively--but you can submit work without doing that

NOTE: if your poetry uses irregular lines that are horizontally spaced like:

the rain
                         in Spain

DO NOT send them with the spacing dependent
on the word-processing MARGIN RIGHT command or TABS;
REPLACE all such with spacing based on the space bar;

ALSO IN THIS CASE
SEND YOUR WORK AS AN ATTACHED MS WORD OR RTF FILE

the reason is that it is difficult to reproduce
such spacing in HTML code for the website
unless it is done with the space bar

Email to:
MISC at SugarMule and the usual DOT and then the COM


-Prose of any genre is most probable in terms of acceptance.-

"Poetry should be at least as well written as prose."
- Ezra Pound

NOTE: visual works which rely on jpg are used rarely, perhaps one or two an issue.
