BUFFALO, N.Y. - Nov. 30, 2015 - PRLog -- Nebo Media Group is excited to announce the submission guidelines for its new project: the Lyric & Verse Anthology!  Charles Clark, President of Nebo Media have released the following details to help interested individuals know not only how to submit but how to tell if your selection might be a good fit for the project:

How to submit

“At the moment, we're only accepting submissions at LV@nebopublishing.com. This helps us keep track of all of the submissions as efficiently as possible. Please don't post us anything, as it won't reach the right people.”

What we're looking for

“The best way to get a really good answer to this question is to try reading us at www.brothaonline.com. Every publisher has different tastes, and if you take the time to discover what we publish, you'll find it much easier to decide what to send us. Our anthology will be available in paperback and e-book formats.

“One other thing to note is that we're looking for stories about people and places, rather than about writing itself. If the most important thing about your story is its quirky narrative technique, or if the character is a writer who's writing about the challenges of writing a short story about the challenges of being a writer, then it may not be for us. Please note that we do not consider novel excerpts, or anything with illustrations. The deadline for submissions is July 1, 2016.”

Rights

“We ask for first serial rights on any story we publish. This means that the story should not have appeared anywhere else, either in print or online. (This includes publication on an author's own website.) When we publish a story, we ask for a brief period of exclusivity (usually six months), and the right to keep the story in print. We don't ask for website rights, or place any limits on what you can do with your story after the exclusivity period.”

Word count

“We are able to consider stories that are between 1,000 and 20,000 words in length; please do not send anything longer or shorter than this. (Most of the stories published are between about 2,000 and 7,000 words.)”

Payment

“Contributors get two complimentary copies. Stories published are also eligible to enter the Writer's Award, a cash prize of $100.00 for the best story in each volume, as judged by the contributors.”

Submission fee

“We are charging a $5.00 submission fee for single entry and a submission fee of $8.00 to cover no more than three entries. This helps with our running costs (we do not receive any external funding), and allows us to devote more time and attention to the submissions we receive. As thanks, all stories accompanied by the fee will receive a response within two weeks of submission. Payment can be made at the time of submission, via PayPal.”

Multiple and simultaneous submissions

“It's fine to send us more than one story at a time. In fact, we prefer to see two. Please don't send more than three, though, and please send them through the form one at a time, and not together in one document.

“We do understand if you want to submit to more than one magazine at a time. However, please let us know if a story you've submitted to us has been accepted elsewhere!”

Our response times

“We aim to reply to all paid submissions within two weeks. (We are not currently accepting unpaid submissions, but if you did submit during our free period, you'll hear back within three months of the submission date.)

“If you submitted within those response times, please just sit tight and wait, but do keep an eye on your junk mail folder, in case our reply finds its way there. Chances are that we just haven't got to your submission yet. If it was more than two weeks / three months ago, first check your junk mail folder again. If you still haven't heard from us, email us: cclark@nebopublishing.com It would be very helpful if you could include your submission code (the number you received when you fired off the submission).”

Please note the deadline for submission is deadline is July 1, 2016 and submissions should be sent to LV@nebopublishing.com.
