My Dear Creative: 

I like work that makes me think or makes me laugh or makes me cry. Work that makes me "feel" holds special appeal. I like new AND experienced storytellers, poets, artists and photographers! Unless specifically announced, there is no particular theme.  Send your best work and be assured that I'll view and/or read with genuine care. 

It may take a minute or two to read these guidelines but if you follow them we will all get along just joyfully! 



 

 

Submit Photographs  using "jpeg" or "jpg" not word! IF YOU USE PEOPLE  WHOSE FACES ARE CLEARLY IDENTIFIABLE/VISIBLE YOU MUST HAVE A MODEL'S RELEASE.

Please read joyful! so you know what kind of work is featured.

Guidelines:

All published works are also archived online and may be featured in print anthologies without additional payment. All rights revert to the authors after publication in joyful! We ask that we be advised if the work is or has been published elsewhere.

 

Please spellcheck and proofread your work carefully. Please avoid gratuitous sex, profanity, or work which disrespects or demeans an ethnic group, a person's sexual orientation or physical/mental challenge. In other words, although I am not a prude or easily offended, the intent of  joyful! is to showcase work of the highest quality. I reserve the right to define what that means for this publication.

1.Please do NOT indent paragraphs in your short stories and articles.

 

2.Please SINGLE space within paragraphs and DOUBLE space between paragraphs.

 

3.For poems: Please SINGLE space within stanzas and DOUBLE space between stanzas.  

                                             

I may make small edits to your work without notice to you. These usually include punctuation, spacing, etc. but that' why I'm the editor. (smile)All rights remain with the individuals.
