Submitting Work

Skrev welcomes submissions. But, do heed the following advice. Be conscise when contacting Skrev. Do not send general stock letters or emails. A "Dear Sir or Madam", approach says much about lack of research, lack of care or concern over placing work and lack of professionalism as a writer. Always send finished, finely proof-read work. Skrev does not have the resources for in-house copy-editing, athough, it can arrange for a work to be professionally proof-read; be warned, this is very costly. If a work is published then it needs to be in an electronic format, a file: novel.rt, poem.odt, or, story.doc. Typescripts are not acceptable when it comes to setting work. Work may be submitted to the following divisions at Skrev: -

Text's Bones

Send unpublished stories for consideration. The flavour of the journal is experimental, but other stories also accepted. Submit: February through to the end of July. Payment: £5 a poem, UK only or two copies of the journal.

Hanging Johnny

Poetry journal that tries to reflect the diversity of verse written today. Send up to ten poems or one long poem. Submit: June through to the end of September. Payment: £1 per poem published, UK only, or two copies of the journal.

SINAP

The majority of SINAP's titles are solicited, but unsolicited material is welcome. Send novellas, short novels and collections of short stories to SINAP. Because of pressure of work, a non-returnable reading fee of £20 should accompany all unsolicited manuscripts sent to SINAP. Download submission advice at the bottom on the page.

PINP

Unsolicited material collections of poetry are welcome. Because of pressure of work, there are just not enough hours in the day to read all manuscripts sent, a non-returnable reading fee of £20 should accompany all unsolicited manuscripts sent to PINP.  Download submission advice at the bottom on the page.
