District Lines—New Submission Guidelines!

Politics & Prose is excited to announce the launch of its P&P imprint, starting with an anthology of original, local work to be called District Lines. The anthology is intended to capture a sense of people and place in D.C. and the surrounding metropolitan area.

We are now soliciting submissions—poems, essays, short stories, coherent musings and ramblings, scribbles, comics, or graphics—that describe a particular D.C. metropolitan neighborhood. Work must be original and previously unpublished. Prose (fiction and non-fiction) should be under 3,000 words. Graphics must be in a PDF file that can be reproduced in black and white.

The deadline for submissions is September 22, 2012. We hope to hold an event at the store once the anthology is published and will ask selected contributors to join us for an open reading.

Please submit entries in a word document, double-spaced, using Times New Roman, 12-point font. For graphics or art please submit work in a PDF file.  Only three poems per person will be considered.  Please put these in a single word document.

Please email submissions to: districtlinesanthology@gmail.com

(All work submitted per our previous guidelines is still eligible, and authors will be issued a refund for the submission fee. Please contact Susan Coll with any questions at scoll@politics-prose.com)
