'Magnets & Ladders' is a literary journal created to highlight the work of writers with disabilities. Submit some of your poetry or prose. The folks at, M&L, are nice and won't bite, probably. bf

It is time to start thinking about submitting your work for the
Fall/Winter edition of Magnets and Ladders. The deadline for submissions is
August 15. Below are our submission guidelines taken from the Magnets and
Ladders website at: Http://www.magnetsandladders.org

Please read the guidelines carefully, as some things have changed. Pay
close attention to the section on being sure that you are submitting your
final draft.

Submission Guidelines

Writers with disabilities may submit up to three selections per issue.
Deadlines are February 15 for the Spring/Summer issue, and August 15 for
the Fall/winter issue. Writers must disclose their disability in their
biography or in their work. Biographies may be up to 100 words in length,
and should be written in third-person.

Do not submit until your piece is ready to be considered for publication.
Rewrites, additions, deletions, or corrections are part of the editorial
process, and will be suggested or initiated by the editor.

Poetry maximum length is 50 lines. Memoir, fiction, and nonfiction maximum
length is 2500 words. In all instances, our preference is for shorter
lengths than the maximum allowed. Please single-space all submissions, and
use a blank line to separate paragraphs and stanzas. It is important to
spell check and proofread all entries. Previously published material and
simultaneous submissions are permitted provided you own the copyright to
the work. Please cite previous publisher and/or notify if work is accepted
elsewhere.

We do not feature advocacy, activist, "how-to," or "what's new" articles
regarding disabilities. Innovative techniques for better writing as well as
publication success stories are welcome. Content will include many genres
with limited attention to the disability theme.
