It is safe to say that Sandy has become an instantly recognizable word naming
both the destructive power of nature, and the human misery that this destructive
power brings. At a time when many are suffering so greatly and losing so much,
others need to be able to provide food to restore, shelter to protect, warmth to
enliven, love to sustain… and a smile to help to carry on.


  http://ohsandybook.com


OH SANDY! An Anthology of Humor for a Serious Purpose is where you can add
something meant to bring a smile to someone who needs one, and where you can
find something to smile about.


Until December 31, we are accepting submissions of humorous fiction and
non-fiction—up to 3000 words—that are about experiencing a disaster,
surviving a hurricane, or living in New Jersey (a lot can be said humorously
about New Jersey without being cruel) to publish in OH SANDY! An Anthology of
Humor for a Serious Purpose. Submissions not accepted for the anthology may
still be posted on the website with your approval.

Southwestern Haiku Anthology Seeks Submissions



Submissions Window: September 1, 2012–January 15, 2013

A new Dos Gatos Press anthology will feature original, previously unpublished
haiku/senryu and haiga that focus on the Southwestern United States. Scott
Wiggerman and Constance Campbell will serve as editors. Penny Harter will write
the preface. We anticipate a 2013 release date.

You need not be a resident of the Southwest to submit. The arrangement of the
anthology will be by seasons, though the poems need not include a kigo, or
traditional “season” word.

You may submit haiku/senryu or haiga or both. See our website for full details:
www.dosgatospress.org/how-to-submit



Haiku/Senryu

Submit up to two haiku/senryu per season (e.g., if you submit two for each
season, you can submit up to eight poems). Use the labels Fall, Winter, Spring,
and Summer to identify your haiku/senryu. You may submit haiku or senryu or
both.

If you have any questions about submitting haiku, feel free to contact Scott
Wiggerman: <editors(at)dosgatospress.org> (replace (at) with @)

editors@...


Submission period: September 1, 2012 through January 15, 2013.



Haiga

Haiga is an image artistically integrated with haiku. The haiku complements the
image; the image complements the haiku. The placement of the haiku is important,
as is the choice of typeface or the style of any lettering done by hand.

Our Guidelines:

Submit up to three haiga. Each haiga will include an original image and an
embedded haiku—both created by the individual submitting the haiga. Because we
use a blind reading process, you will not include a byline/signature on a haiga
when you submit it.


Image Guidelines:

Black and white images only—no color images.

Printable space on a page will be 4.4 X 7.25 inches. A vertical haiga might take
up an entire page. A horizontal haiga will be limited to the width of our page;
we will not rotate a page 90Ëš to accommodate a horizontal image.

Digital Images:
Minimum width for an image: 1320 pixels.

Scanning images:

Scan non-digital photographs at 300 dpi or higher.
For pen and ink, line art, or type as line art, scan in bitmap format at 600 dpi
or higher.

NOTE:
If one of your haiga is accepted, you will need to submit separate files to
us—one for the image itself (without the text) and one for the text itself

Between December 1st and December 31st, the museum of americana will accept
submissions of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, photography, art, reviews, and
interviews for Issue Two, set go live in mid January.

We seek work that showcases and/or repurposes historical American culture. This
is, of course, an enormous and diverse tub of spare parts, and we want to see if
you can turn them into a hot rod. Give us fiction that dramatizes weird old folk
songs or steals their characters. Give us love poetry that mixes language
cribbed from The Federalist Papers with language cribbed from WWII propaganda
posters.  We want medicine shows and riverboats, Doo-Wop and Duke Snider.  We
want aspects of Americana we may not have even heard of yet.

Please see Issue One and our complete guidelines for a clearer picture of our
aesthetic:
