We are now accepting submissions for the Fall 2010 issue!
We accept electronic submissions in the categories of fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, short plays and play excerpts, and literary translation. All submissions to Ozone Park Journal must be original, previously unpublished work in English. We welcome simultaneous submissions with the understanding that you will immediately inform us if your work is accepted elsewhere.
Manuscripts must be sent as a single Microsoft Word .doc or .rtf file. Prose should be double-spaced, and poetry should be single-spaced. Please use twelve-point type. Send a cover letter and up to three poems, a ten-page short play or play excerpt, or prose of up to 7500 words. Translated work should include both an English translation and a copy of the work in the original language. Any translations must include proof of rights granted by the current copyright holder (by the author if the work has not been previously published).
Our Fall submission period is September 1 to December 10. Our Spring submission period is February 1 to May 10. Work submitted outside of these periods will not be read. Please note that after a submission season has ended, we do not hold that season's submissions to be considered for a future issue of the journal.
Manuscripts must be submitted electronically to the email address that corresponds to your genre.
