1. Old Red Kimono accepts artwork, poems, and short stories, but all submissions must be original. Plagiarism, whether accidental or purposeful, is unacceptable. Please send 3-5 poems, short stories under 1,500 words, or artwork (digital copy or hardcopy) according to the guidelines below.

2. Simultaneous submissions are acceptable, as long as writers notify us immediately in the event of publication elsewhere.

3. Typed or emailed submissions are preferred, but handwritten submissions will be accepted as long as they are neat and readable. Email submissions should be sent as attachments in Microsoft Word format, or the poems or stories should be copied and pasted in the body of an email.

4. Each submission should be accompanied by a cover letter with the writer's name(s), mailing address, and E-mail address; these items should be printed on each submission as well. If you are affiliated with GHC, please indicate this in your cover letter.

5. Work must be accompanied by a self-addressed stamped envelope. Only decisions will be mailed. Manuscripts will be recycled.

6. Submissions from GHC students, faculty, and staff are accepted throughout the academic year; submissions from outside contributors are reviewed from September through February. The deadline for submission to the Spring 2010 issue of Old Red Kimono is February 15, 2010.

7. If you are affiliated with GHC, you may email your submission to one of our editors, deposit it in our box in the Social Sciences Office, or forward it to us via campus mail.

    If you are not a student, please send your submission to:

Old Red Kimono
Georgia Highlands College
3175 Cedartown Hwy SE

8. As a general rule, your work stands a much better chance of being accepted to the magazine if you title it. Please, title your work—it tells us that you care about what you do.
