Skrews is excited to offer our readers individual purchase options per issue for the Skrews Publication. Since we're in the early stages of establishing our operation, our medium of issuance and distribution will be digital through the various online bookstores. Our top stores include (but not limited to) the Amazon Kindle Bookstore, Barnes and Nobles, Google Play Books, Apple Books, Scribd, and Bookmate. Subscription options are projected to roll out with our third issue.

Since we’d like to first prove we can maintain a periodic release for our readers (we’re still working out the kinks), we are collecting only an email for notification at this current time. Skrews currently operates on donated time, so we’ve decided to publish yearly on October 1st rather than attempt to maintain a more vigorous schedule. We feel that an Autumn release is the most fitting for our theme. When nearing our third release, we will send out an email blast notifying all individuals on this list with subscription details and an enclosed link for membership. We care deeply about providing value and meaningful service for you, and this will enable us to better serve while we’re young as a syndicate.

VIEW RELEASED ISSUES

Most importantly, all contributors will receive a FREE copy of the issue their work was featured in and a select few will have a section in the Featured works portion of our website. To submit your own, click the X at the top of the page and head over to the Submissions section.

In effort to support our poets, Skrews encourages unsolicited poetry at any point in time regardless of our release cycle. Our theme is of the dark, pain-filled side of humanity and we ask this be considered prior to entry. Individual themes per issue may be chosen regarding current events, but aren't required. We also welcome multiple submissions and will accept up to 5 at a time. Response times vary from a few days to a few weeks depending on volume. We request that poets keep this time frame in mind while submitting their work to other publishers. Poets who have not received a response within 90 days can request a status for their submission(s) via email: TALK@SKRE.WS.

We expect to publish shorter poems that fit on a single page (about 23 lines), however, exceptions will be made to accommodate exceptional poems that run longer. Please send no more than five poems prior to receiving a response from our editors. Our web form will prompt you for multiple submissions. We do not accept translations or work that has been previously published in print or online. By submitting, the submitter is agreeing that this work is his or her own. To read the the full Poet's agreement, please click here.

For online submissions, we will eventually charge a small reading fee, which will be waived for all current subscribers. During our vamp-up period, we are pleased to offer this for free since our early supporters will be an important asset to the success of this publication. If you prefer to submit via post, we do accept fee-free postal submissions addressed to:

* Please note, we respond to all submissions electronically. Snail mail submitters should be sure to include an email address with their submission.

* For Cover Art Guidelines, please have digital file resolutions meet the criteria of 2560 by 1600 pixels or larger. Digital stores require the ratio of 1.6 in height to 1 in width; so for every 1600 pixels in height, have 1000 pixels in width. When producing non-digital art, use this 1.6 to 1 ratio and keep your orientation vertical where the height is larger than the width. Contact TALK@SKRE.WS directly to get instructions on file uploads or mailing instructions.
