Call for Submissions: Floorboard Review
Floordboard Review is now accepting poetry and photography submissions for its second issue.
For poems: Submit up to 4 poems. We are especially drawn to poems with vivid, concrete imagery, and carefully crafted, musical lines (which does not necessarily mean rhyme). We are not interested in abstractions. Review your work carefully, as we do not generally ask for revisions. Please upload poems in a single file, and include the poems' titles separated only by commas in the name of the file.
For photos: Submit 3 to 4 black-and-white photographs.
Simultaneous submissions of poems and photos are fine; just let us know immediately if the piece is accepted elsewhere.

Upon acceptance of your work, Floorboard Review requests first North American serial rights (which means the work has not been published before); upon publication, all rights revert back to the author or artist.
