http://muzzlemagazine.submishmash.com/Submit.
 
Only previously unpublished work will be considered for publication. Simultaneous submissions are fine, but please let us know immediately if your work is accepted elsewhere. Please include a 50-100 word bio in the "Cover Letter / Biography" field of the online submissions form. 

For questions about submissions, please email: muzzlemagazine@gmail.com (submissions sent via email will no longer be considered as of 1/16/2011; submissions must be sent via our online submissions form). 

• Themed Issue Submissions - Drink 

                  Submit 3-5 poems or visual art pieces (each piece submitted as a separate file) 
                  that relate somehow to the theme of "Drink" via our submissions manager.
       
                  By drink, we don't mean to limit submissions to poems about frat parties and praying 
                  to the porcelain gods (though they are certainly welcome). We encourage submitters 
                  to be creative with the theme. 

• Poetry Submissions

                  Please send 3-5 poems at a time. Each poem needs to be attached as 
                  a separate PDF or DOC file (after submitting the first file, click the "submit again"
                  link" and repeat the process). We know this can be tedious, but it is important
                  to our editorial process and makes keeping  track of withdrawn poems 
                  much easier for everyone. 

                 Additionally, please make sure your name does not appear anywhere 
                 in the document or submission title; our editors like to view submissions blindly.
        
                 Upon acceptance of poetry submissions, poets will be invited to send audio 
                 recordings of their work. 

• Visual Art Submissions

                 All art submissions must be attached as JPEG files. Please send no more               
                 than 5 pieces in one submission. In the file name for each piece, please 
                 include the title of the piece (ex: Alight.jpeg). 

•  Interviews

                 Interviews should be less than 2000 words. Each interview must be attached 
                 as a PDF or DOC file.

• Reviews

                 Reviews should be less than 1500 words. Book Reviews should be of poetry         
                 books published within the last 2 years. Performance Reviews should be of         
                 poetry performances that occurred within the last 6 months. Each review
