SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
“Wolf Moon Journal” is a progressive literary publication that
examines art and issues that
are both particular to Maine and go beyond Maine.
We are especially looking for book, theater, movie, and art reviews.
However, we rarely turn down a well-written essay. Length is pretty
flexible—anywhere from 500 to 2000 words. We publish bi-monthly on the web and
in print. All rights
belong to the writer, and payment is in copies of the journal.
With book, theater, and movie reviews, we are looking for a description of
plot where all is not revealed. Each review should also include thoughtful
and detailed analysis. With art reviews, we like a description of the
exhibit and, again, thoughtful analysis.
With essays, the subject matter is open, but they should contain some idea
or notion that the writer is exploring. “Wolf Moon’s” slant is progressive,
and writers should take this into account when submitting political essays
and commentary.
With poetry, the subject and style and length are completely open. However,
we are looking for a precision of language, where one word inevitably
follows another word.
Photographic submissions are accepted. Submissions need to be in high
resolution (full resolution output of a 6 mega pixel or better camera) and
in digital format. (Tiff preferred, jpg accepted). Photographs
submitted to accompany an article may be used if somewhat below this
standard if in our estimation they can be reproduced adequately in the
journal.
The quality of writing is important. we use “The Chicago Manual of Style” as
a guide and “The Elements of Style” by Strunk and White. As a rule, we are
not interested in pieces that are full of slang or written in a breezy
style. For a sense of what we are looking for, read some of the pieces in
the journal.
All essay, review or poetry submissions must be sent by email as an attachment in
Open office or Microsoft
Word format. We cannot accept essay, review or poetry submissions on paper
or by postal mail. All pieces are edited, but the edited copy for all
non-trivial changes are always sent to
the writer for approval.
All photographic submissions are subject to photo editing to enhance
presentation in the print journal and will be modified to reduced size if
used on the web.
