March Snakeskin will be a Science Fiction special,
edited by Jessy Randall - but the submission date
for that is well past. take a look on March 1st to
see what Jessy has selected.
After that, April will be another all themes/ all
styles issue.
That's enough planning. Let's just see what poems
you send us and take it from there...

A reminder:
For those who don't get how Snakeskin
works - each number of the zine is made up of the
contributions sent in during the previous month.
We rarely keep poems over to the next issue (and
if we do, we let you know about it. We know that
there are magazines out there - especially print
ones - which take pride in building up a backlog,
and keeping poets dangling for months wondering
whether they'll be accepted or not. We don't do
that. We tell you which month you'll be considered
for - and then you're either in it or you're not.
We try to notify poets whose work has not been
selected, but in some months this requires major
effort, and life can get in the way. There's a
huge number of rejection notes to be sent this
month, but we'll try to get them out within a few
days. And we'll try to be positive, where we can.
Send those contributions (in the body of an
email, please, not as attachments ) to editor@snakeskin.org.uk.

Two blog posts may be of
interest to potential contributors to Snakeskin
.
The first, on "How
Snakeskin Works", explains the simple
procedure by which contributions are selected for
a month's issue.
The second, called "Don't"
offers some tips to novice poets, detailing a few
of the things that might make an editor take
against your work.
