PUBLISH YOUR WORK!
HOW DO WE SELECT WHICH SUBMISSIONS TO PUBLISH?
We welcome your submissions! If you are between the ages of 6 and 14 you are eligible to have your work published in a future issue of Flying Ship. Our editors will review your work and let you know if there is a place for it in Flying Ship, either in the printed magazine or on the website. Just about any creative work is acceptable. It must be original—created by you and not copied from anywhere else. Here are some suggestions for things to submit: • Short stories — 2000 words or less (about two typed pages). We particularly like illustrated stories! • Poetry • Reviews of your favorite book • Artwork — drawings, paintings, collage, photography, sculpture—you name it! • Jokes or short comic strips • Riddles • Recipes • Games or puzzles • Mazes, crossword puzzles, word searches, hidden pictures drawings • Anything you think would look good in Flying Ship Magazine!
Submission to Flying Ship Magazine is not a contest. Selection of contributions is based on a number of criteria (see flyingship.org/submit), such as available space, the theme of an issue, and similarity of pieces within an issue. It is also important to recognize that we keep all submitters’ work on file. Even if we do not publish certain pieces in the upcoming issue, we may still publish them in a future issue.
Please include a Parental Permission Form and a Submission Form with your work (available at flyingship.org/submit). Mail submissions to: Flying Ship Magazine, PO Box 1159, Norwich, VT 05055 or email to mat@flyingship.org.
If you would like your work returned to you, please include a self-addressed, stamped envelope. BE SURE TO INCLUDE YOUR NAME, AGE, AND TOWN OF RESIDENCE.
SCHOOL CITATION POLICY When we publish an item which was submitted to us by a student’s school or teacher, it is our policy to print the name of the school/teacher along with the student’s name in the publication. If a published item was not submitted by a teacher, we print only the name of the student who created it.
THE DEADLINE FOR THE JUNE ISSUE IS MAY 9, 2008.
