RATTLE: Calls for Submissions

While we're always open to regular submissions of poetry, e-reviews, essays on writing, and artwork, each issue of RATTLE contains a special tribute section dedicated to some ethnic, vocational, or stylistic group. We're also looking for essays on specific subjects. Listed below are our upcoming calls for submissions, along with their deadlines. These calls are subject to change at any time, with the more distant issues less certain. If you have any questions, feel free to email Tim Green:

RATTLE #37 - Summer 2012 - Poets in Law Enforcement

Poetry: The tribute section will feature poetry written by poets working in or retired from a career in law enforcement. The poems don't have to be about your work -- we're interested in any subject or style of poem, as long as you are or have been a police officer, detective, investigator, jailer, FBI agent, probation officer, etc. To submit via email or hardcopy, follow the regular guidelines, but please note in the cover letter that you are submitting for the Law Enforcement tribute.

Essays: We'd like to publish essays on the relationship between law enforcement and poetry. Our preference is a personal narrative essay, which focuses on your own experience. Please query with any questions. Essays can be any length.

Artwork: We still need cover and divider art for this issue. Photography, paintings, or collages relating to the theme will all be considered. Submissions are accepted as lo-res email attachments (jpegs prefered), or by mail on a CD. Production will require hi-res images (300dpi @ 9.25" x 6.125").

Reading Period Opens: August 1st, 2011 -- Deadline for submissions: February 1st, 2012

RATTLE #38 - Winter 2012 - Speculative (SF) Poetry

Poetry: The tribute section will feature Speculatative and Science Fiction Poetry.

Essays: We'd like to publish essays on Speculative Poetry. Our preference is always an engaging narrative essay, which focuses on some aspect of the genre. Please query with any questions. Essays can be any length.

Reading Period Opens: February 1st, 2012 -- Deadline for submissions: August 1st, 2012

Further Down the Line

Future issues plan to feature: Speculative (SF) Poetry, Australian poets, Short Poems, and Chapbooks. That should fill up the next few years, but we're always open to suggestions. If you have any ideas for tributes, or essays on any subject, please write to us. We're listening.
