Call for Submissions from Writers 50+: Smokey Blue and Literary Arts Magazine

We accept poetry, short fiction, creative non-fiction, memoir and book review. We accept submissions year-round.

Dual Literary and Photography/Art submissions (i.e. poetry paired with artwork) will only be considered for publication if they can be published separately as well as paired together.Poetry: we accept a maximum of four poems submitted per issue.

Prose: we accept a maximum of two prose works submitted per issue. We prefer prose submissions to be under 5,000 words. We do not publish novels or serial excerpts (unless the excerpt can stand alone).

Online submissions should be sent as an email attachment to editor.sblaam@gmail.com, either in Word (.doc), Pages (.pages), another current word processor format, or Rich Text format (.rtf). We do not accept Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) or older formats such as Word Perfect (.wp) or Microsoft Works (.wps).

We do not accept submissions (literary or image) via Google Docs or any other such method, only as email attachments or, if necessary, embedded in the email text.

We vastly prefer electronic submissions. Hard copy submissions (typed, only) may be mailed to
