ARE YOU READY TO SUBMIT?
Want your words/poetry/artwork featured on TheWordParty.com?
Here's what you've got to do: Show up at our READINGS!!!

The Word Party, and our website, seeks to create a creative, responsive, and accepting community of artists, writers, and poets—live and in-person, as well as on the web. We offer our site as a means to promote the poets who attend our East and West Coast open mics on a regular and frequent basis (see home page for event details). We reserve the right to choose which poets and pieces are published on our site based not only on the quality of the work, but also on poet/artist/writer's participation in The Word Party’s events.

The Word Party encourages experimentation, but also feels that comprehension and clarity are important to the works. If the editors feel that your poem needs editorial assistance before posting, we will contact you. If we do not get a response, we will not post the poem. All poet responses must go directly to the editor who contacts the poet. Please see below for specific formatting and submission regulations.

• All submissions should be in ONE MicroSoft Word document (not another program.)
• In a 12 point font in Ariel or Times New Roman.
• The title of the document should be the poet's name.
• The document must include your e-mail address and a URL link if you have a website of your own.
• No more than 7 poems submitted at one time. Poems can be no longer than 400 words; prose pieces no longer than 2000 words.
• All entries must submit a bio (not more than 150 words) and a photo in jpeg format.
• If you submit artwork, please send photos in jpeg format.

EAST Coast—send submissions to: Christine
WEST Coast—send submissions to: Ingrid


SUPPORT POETRY!
Unfortunately poetry doesn't always pay the bills and somehow we have to pay for the upkeep of our website, printing and more. If you regularly attend the readings we host or benefit from our efforts in some way and feel the need to give back, feel free to donate by coming to our night where we ask for a small donation for the band and organizers OR donate by mail and drop us a line for more info. Thanks for supporting us!

The Word Party.
