Summer 2006 Theme:
Poetic and Visual Arts Connection
Deadline: June 15, 2006

We will be hosting the collections of 4-5 poet/artists this summer. Much creative license will be given to the artist.

Any submissions made during the summer can be held and considered for our Fall publication, but no decisions will be made until September.

For the Summer Theme:

Send: 8-10 poems and 8-10 pieces of visual arts. Our editorial team will decide if your work and our issue are a good match. If so, we will work together to select a group of 4-5 poems and 4-5 visual art pieces.

Submit your proposals to editor (at) mannequinenvy (dot) com We are also asking that the selected artists prepare a write up describing how their visual and verbal creativity are connected.

The art and poetry can, but do not need to follow a theme, or they can follow two separate themes, etc. We will decide together how to present the work.

General Submissions:

Reading Period: August 15-September 15
Publication date: October 15

Poetry, flash fiction and visual arts.

There is no shortage of really nice art and literature out there.
We do not want "nice." We want to feel a physical reaction to your work. Nausea. Embarassment. Arousal. Something.

Bio: Introduce yourself a bit as a writer/artist and as a person. Publication credits are acceptable but by no means necessary.

Guidelines:
  • Simultaneous submissions are acceptable, as is previously published work (please note original publication credit), though unpublished work is more likely to find a home here.
  • Send all of your work in the body of one email.
  • One submission per issue-- maximum one poetry, one flash, one art
  • We will not publish the same artist more than two issues in any one year.
  • We will probably not accept work which is discriminatory, contains nonconsensual sex, underage characters, bestiality, or covert or overt bigotry, sexism or libel. We might but it better be damn good. 
  • By submitting, you agree that you are at least 18 years of age. You also agree that the work is your original creation and does not infringe on any copyrights or copyright laws. If your work has been previously published, please indicate where and when your poem has appeared. Only submit work if you retain the copyright. We are asking for non-exclusive rights during the three to four months in which your  work will appear and the right to archive the issues containing your work for as long as the website exists. You also grant the right to publish your work in any print anthology published by Mannequin Envy.
  • If your work is published elsewhere after being published in Mannequin Envy, we would appreciate the courtesy of a mention.
             

What next?

When you submit, you will receive an automated response letting you know that we have gotten your submission.  We will not be reading 1 month before and 1 month after a new issue is published. We will eventually read submissions sent.
