Entries can be in any form.
But you must write them from the perspective of an inanimate object or an animal to be considered.

-----


Submissions MUST include:
  • Email subject reads "Submission Object: _____"  Example (Object: Cell Phone), (Object: Tornado)
  • Contact information: mailing address or city/country and phone number to call (in case of email problems--it's happened before and I couldn't publish an author's manuscript)
  • Object must experience an event of some kind (a storm, a rejection, an injury, a happy moment, etc). 
  • POV: 1st person (I, my, mine, our, ours, we)

Short stories
  • Insert contact info on manuscript AND email
  • Use strong, vivid word choices to engage the sight, smell, hearing, touch and taste senses
  • Dialogue between two or more objects preferred but optional
  • Margins (1.5"), single space lines, and indent paragraphs
  • I prefer active vs passive sentence structures  
  • Maximum word count: none

Poetry
  • I prefer that lines do not begin with all capital letters
  • Submit up to three poems
  • Use poetry techniques (similes, metaphors, comparisons, onomatopoeia, alliteration, etc.)
  • Use proper spacing and punctuation
  • Maximum lines: 30 

Email Guidelines
  • Send submissions to: perspectivesmagazine@gmail.com
  • Subject line reads: "Submission Object" (see above section submissions must include)
Miscellaneous
  • Regarding bios: Please include a reference to my publications in which you have appeared.
  • Acceptable file formats: doc, docx, pdf, rtf or inline
  • I prefer using the comments feature in Word but will use inline text in an email if you're unfamiliar with it.
  • Visit Issuu to see previous editions of Perspectives.

* Kindly leave sexual-related objects for another magazine
If you haven't contributed to previous issues, mention how you found the magazine.

Thank you for following the guidelines!
