CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: THE OXFORD SO & SO
Deadline: May 1 & July 1, 2013
NON-FICTION & FICTION should be about 1,000 words or so (slightly flexible.)
Very little fiction will be used and the best choice for fiction is to write a true-to-life
humorous fictional piece about life in the "good ole days." Non-fiction DOES NOT
have to be humorous. POETRY: Very little used and only rhyming poetry will be considered. PAYMENT: As "SO & SO" receives NO advertising revenue, payment is still incopies - 1 (ONE) copy, no matter how many articles are in the issue. This is a change from the past policy. It is necessary to keep SO & SO solvent. This IS payment as copies are valued at $5.00 each. (If you have an article in an issue you may purchase all the extra copies you want for $4.00 each, postpaid). E-mail submissions are preferred but snail mail is OK! Even hand-written snail mail, but PLEASE! make sure it is legible, ESPECIALLY names and numbers. This can not be emphasized too much! No snail mail copies can be returned so please keep a copy of your snail mail submission. Please keep all articles about SOUTHERN nostalgia. For the next issues SO & SO would like to receive some articles on the Cotton States League (1902-1955) which flourished in MS, AR, LA, AL & TX.
