Literary Arts “Time Has Come”

Downgo Sun periodically accepts electronic submissions of prose and poetry for on-line publication.  Watch for the on-line presentation of items selected and announcements of periods opened for submissions.

Downgo Sun, an E-zine supported by the Historic Northeast Cultural Arts Commission in Kansas City, Missouri, is seeking exquisite literary prose and poetry submissions to celebrate the E-zine’s rebirth as a popular voice in the online literary community.

• Our editorial board is looking forward to reading the finest short stories, nonfiction narratives, novel chapters/excerpts and poems contemporary writers can offer.  We are not interested in footnoted articles, scholarly articles or genre fiction.

• Submissions must be sent by email.  No other forms will be accepted.

• Please send no more than five poems, one piece of creative nonfiction or one short story per submission.  A Microsoft Word document attached to the email is the preferred format.  Prose works should be no longer than 4,000 words.

• Please provide a bio of no more than 200 words in which you include your publication record and any awards or honors your writing has received.

• Please email submissions to the appropriate editor (Fiction Editor, Nonfiction Editor, or Poetry Editor) at:
  downgosun(at)gmail.com

• We will accept simultaneous submissions.  Please notify us immediately if the work you have sent to us has been accepted for publication elsewhere.

• We will not publish previously published work.

• Like most online literary magazines, our staff is small, and the volume of submissions is large, so please be patient.  Do not query us until five months have passed.

• Like some online literary magazines, our budget is nonexistent.  We cannot offer monetary payment for work that we publish online.  We can offer recognition in an online venue.  All rights revert to the writer upon publication.

• Deadline for the spring 2008 issue was March 20, 2008.  Watch for upcoming on-line publication of items selected and an announcement of next period opened for submissions.

Thank you for your interest.  We look forward to hearing from you.
