Submit Work
Thank you for your interest in Stone Canoe! The third edition is now underway, and we welcome your submissions.
Stone Canoe considers for inclusion previously unpublished works of short fiction or nonfiction, short plays, poems, and works of visual art. Submissions for the spring 2009 edition, Stone Canoe No. 3, are welcome between March 1 and July 31, 2008. We cannot consider work submitted outside these dates. The editors' decisions will be communicated by September 15, 2008.
Maximum number of submissions:
One work of short fiction or nonfiction or short play: not to exceed 10,000 words (include word count). Indicate whether prose work is fiction or nonfiction.
Up to five poems.
Up to five images (for visual artists): include dimensions (WxH) and materials used (e.g., oil on canvas, acrylic on hardwood panel).
Submissions will not be reviewed unless accompanied by a short biography of 100 words or less.
Stone Canoe is a community project committed to showcasing the work of artists and writers from, or somehow connected to, the Upstate New York region. Please include your connection to this region in your short biography. Please indicate if your work has been submitted simultaneously to another publication.
To submit your work, please:
- fill out our submission form online and attach an electronic copy of your work.
- Writers should submit work in either Rich Text Format (rtf) or as a Word® document.
- Visual artists may attach low resolution (72 dpi) tif, gif or jpg images. If accepted for publication, high resolution images will be needed.
If you have questions or difficulty with this form, please contact Allison Vincent at advincen@uc.syr.edu or 315-443-4165.
All rights for individual works revert to contributors upon publication, though Stone Canoe will seek permission to feature submitted work on its web site.
Contributors receive two copies of each issue in which their work appears and are featured on our web site.
