Posted byColleen M. ChesebroPosted inAround the CampfireTags:, , , , , ,

Have you submitted???

šŸ”„ You can submit three (3) entries. If youā€™ve already sent in one entryā€¦ why not write two more? šŸ”„

Carrot Ranch Literary Community

Around the Campfire is a bi-annual publication of quality fiction, creative non-fiction, memoir, and poetry in the specific styles of 99 words or 99 syllables (Double Ennead).

The literary journal is published in partnership between Gitty Up Press and Unicorn Cats Publishing Services.

2023 is the first issue. The debut theme is šŸ”„ ā€œfire.ā€ šŸ”„

The estimated publishing date is October, 2023.

Submission Guidelines:

  1. Open to all writers.
  2. Must be 99 words or 99 syllables (see list above).
  3. Must include the theme ā€œfire.ā€
  4. Must be original and not published elsewhere (including personal blogs or social media).
  5. Accepted May 1 through May 31, 2023, ending at midnight.
  6. Writers may submit up to three entries of one style or a mixture.
  7. Submit all of your submissions (up to three) at one time in the body of a single email. Do not send attachments.
  8. Submissions are only accepted at: campfirejournal@gmail.com. Include the submission in the body of the email.
  9. All submissions will receive a notification of receipt. Not all submissions will be selected. 
  10. Terms of publishing are provided upon acceptance. 

When it comes to word count, writing programs can count differently. Thereā€™s some that count certain punctuation, such as the em dash, and others that count hyphenated words as one. 

Therefore, we recommend using Microsoft Word or WordCounter.

The same is true about syllable counters. For syllables, use Syllable Counter.

Submit by May 31, 2023 at midnight EST

  10. I’m a little confused as to sending them in. #7 in bold says the have to be sent in one email, all of them. So, we can’t send in a second or third one after the first submission? I have one ready, and one in the works, and wondered if I need to wait. I can’t wait much longer, can I!

    1. No, it just makes it easier on me copying and pasting the poetry to have it in one email. Time is running out. I’ve got to get my own written. LOL! 5/31/23 is the deadline at midnight! šŸ¦„
