Submission Guidelines



[DEADLINE: June 15, 2008]

 

Shadows made material, dreams come to pass, revenants, unexpected encounters and improbable appearances; whatever is more than, above, mega, spiritual or simply inexpicable in life.

What has touched you from the the realm beyond
that we can experience through our five senses?

[Note: Although Van Gogh's Ear is non-profit, because of being an Anglophone publication based in France, we are unable to get any grants or funding. Our continued existence, and continued ability to consider and publish outstanding work, depends mainly on the support of artists. Thus, for the survival of the excellent poetry, prose, and art that Van Gogh’s Ear is famous for, we must ask a consideration fee of 10 US dollars or its equivalent, i.e., 12 Canadian dollars, 5 British pounds, 14 Australian dollars, or 8 euros, for submissions from non-subscribers. Just click on one of the links on the left in your currency to receive consideration, then send only hardcopy submissions to French Connection Press. As for checks or money orders, they're welcome only in U.S. dollars or French euros. Further details below. All submissions will be forwarded to Felice Picano where he will closely read and consider all. The goal is to discover new talent from all over the world!]

After paying the consideration fee, please follow the submission guidelines below:
