Submission guidelines

Submissions by post are preferred, but will be accepted by e-mail. Please read the guidelines before submitting your work.

We are looking for intelligent, well-written short stories, an extract from a novel if it stands on its own, and poems on all subjects, plus the occasional non-fiction item. Please note we do not require work that is exclusively related to life in France; all subjects are encouraged.

We regret we are not currently able to offer a fee for published work, as the magazine is non profit making, but hope that this situation will change soon. However, we will send you three complimentary copies of the issue in which your fiction or poem appears.

After reading the guidelines carefully, please send your poems or short story to:

Ione Harrison, 1 bis rue JP Lefort, 11400 Castelnaudary, France

  • The preferred length for a story is 1500-3000 words. Please send a maximum of two.
  • The preferred length for a poem is less than 40 lines. Please send a minimum of two and a maximum of five for consideration.
  • Submissions must be typewritten on one side of the paper with good margins and double spaced. No hand-written entries can be accepted.
  • Please ensure your name, address, telephone number and email address appear on your story or poem.
  • Please provide a brief (50-100 words) biography.
  • If sending work by post, please provide an SAE if you would like your MS/poems returned.
  • If sending work by email, please either send as a word document attachment or in the body of the email.
