Six days

Happy Boxing Day, everyone! ...Whatever that is. I hope you all had a great Christmas with your family's, and thank you for your understanding when I thought Friday was Saturday. 

Today though, I want to talk about something other than Christmas. 
 

Today marks the start of the last week of 2016. Some of us are glad, others are saddened to know that this year is coming to a close. But for those of us who call ourselves creatives, those of us who write, who create art, this week marks something else.

You guessed it.

Only a few more days to submit your work for Mavguard Edition V.

It seems so crazy to already be at this point, to have only a few more days before we’ll close the submissions window and start looking over everything you’ve sent in. But that’s what happens for us at RAD Writing, when the end of the year rolls around. We put our heads down and start reading. And it’s such great fun.

Today, I wanted to talk you to a little bit about the submissions process. I know it can be scary for some people, that some of us get so nervous that we can’t even think of sending anything in, and so I want to take a little time to talk to you about it.

All it takes is a simple form.

You go to www.MavguardMagazine.com, click on submit, scroll to the bottom of the page, and select what form you need. If you have art, go to the art form. If you have a short story or poem, click literary.

The form is really easy. We only need some basic information about you: your name, what name you’d like to be published as, your email, address, phone number, the usual stuff. You have to give that every time you order something online anyway. And we don’t give any of your information away for any reason, so you don’t have to worry about getting spammed because you gave us your information. We’ll add your email to our mailing list, but if you don’t want to be on it, all you have to do is let us know.

You can only submit one piece per form, but you can send in up to fifteen forms: five poems, five short stories, and five art.

That means you have fifteen chances at publication, if your a multi-faceted creative. How cool is that?

Honestly, that’s really all there is to it. One of us will send you an email to let you know we’ve received your submission, and if you have any questions you can send us an email. We reply as soon as we can, and we’re very friendly.

I know this, because I read all the emails. I’m a snoop. Don’t judge me. I want to know that everyone’s being nice to you.

Easy peasy. And you’re guaranteed to be emailed by a nice person!

What’s so scary about that?

Seriously though. Whatever you create, I want to see it. I honestly do.

Go on over to www.MavguardMagazine.com now to submit something! Really. Go do it!

[love]
