Submission Guidelines

All submissions must be typewritten.

Up to 5 poems or pieces of art may be submitted per issue.

There is no maximum line length for submissions; however, poems of less than 40 lines have the best chance of acceptance.

Manuscripts will be considered only if accompanied by a self-addressed, stamped envelope (SASE) and mailed to: Editor, Song of the San Joaquin, PO Box 1161, Modesto, CA, 95353-1161.

Manuscripts should, in the opinion of the editors, clearly have something to do with life in the San Joaquin Valley of California. This area is defined geographically as the region from Fresno to Stockton, and from the foothills on the west to those on the east. They need not mention any specific geographic place, but should somehow be characteristic of the people, activities, and area.

Manuscripts must be accompanied by personal ID: poet’s name and contact information (name, address, e-mail, title of poem; also include mention of any previous publication and/or prizes this manuscript has received).

Manuscripts will be reviewed by a panel of editors for possible acceptance. Notification time may range from three weeks to three months.

Contributors will receive one copy of the publication in which their work appears. No other payment is made.
