Octopus Magazine Open for Submissions

from the editors of Octopus

We read submissions of poetry during the month of August. Please send a friendly number of poems in one MS Word attachment before August 31, 2009. Introduce yourself to us in the body of the email and feel free to include a list of previous publications, if any.

For issue 13 we are particularly interested in Recovery Projects, which are brief essays celebrating a single book that you feel people should be reading but are not reading. The recovery should be about 1000 words, about a book that is at least 20 years old & out of print, but all those are flexible. The only real requirement is that the recovery inspires a reader to want to track down that book and read it as soon as possible. Please write us to pitch a Recovery Project.

Send poems or recovery pitches to octopusmagazine@gmail.com
