The Atlantic Magazine
*Submissions: The Atlantic considers unsolicited manuscripts, either fiction or nonfiction. A general familiarity with what we have published in the past is the best guide to our needs and preferences. Manuscripts must be typewritten and double-spaced. Receipt of manuscripts will be acknowledged if accompanied by a self-addressed stamped envelope. Manuscripts will not be returned. At this time, the print magazine does not read submissions sent via fax or e-mail. TheAtlantic.com no longer accepts unsolicited submissions.
Poetry Guidelines: The editors of The Atlantic read with interest and attention every poem submitted to the magazine and, quite simply, we publish those that seem to us to be the best. Our interest is in the broadest possible range of work: traditional forms and free verse, the meditative lyric and the "light" or comic poem, the work of the famous and the work of the unknown. We have long been committed to the discovery of new poets. Our one limitation is length; we are unable to publish very long poems, and authors should consult back issues of the magazine for precedents.
Poetry submission guidelines are as follows: Send a typewritten group of no more than six unpublished poems to the attention of David Barber, Poetry Editor, and include a self-addressed envelope with sufficient postage for return of the manuscript. Contributors living outside the United States should include international reply coupons. We will not consider simultaneous submissions or poems that have been previously published, even in small, private editions. We'll respond in four to six weeks and will pay upon acceptance. Copyright returns to the author after publication. We do not accept poetry submissions via email or fax.

Like finding shells on the beach, I love doing market research! And what I find, I love to share! I write in a variety of genres including children's, Christian, poetry, fiction, and nonfiction, so these post follow along those lines. Check out my web site: www.sallyclark.info, for more about me.
