Address subscription and administrative correspondence to:  Spot Write Literary Corporation, 4729 E. Sunrise Dr., Box 254, Tucson, AZ 85718-4535.  Via email, you may reach the editior <susan.hansell@gmail.com> or the publisher <gpuyeno@hotmail.com>.

Sustaining subscriptions are $25.00 US per year, which includes priority mailing costs.  Single issues and back issues are $15.00 when mailed or $10 in person.  Checks are payable to "Spot Write Literary Corp."

Spot Literary Magazine may also be available at [Open] Books, in Long Beach, CA, and at Shakespeare and Company, in Paris, France.  Spring hardcopy issues become available in mid-May, with website publication in early May.  Fall hardcopy issues become available in mid-November, with website publication in early November.

SLM accepts submissions from January 15 through February 15 for spring issues, and from August 15 to September 15 for fall issues. 

Submissions are considered for acceptance via email only:  Texts must be sent as Microsoft Word files in (simple) TIMES (or Times New Roman if you do not have TIMES CE) font.  Send black and white photos and art work in grayscale JPEG file format. 

Send three or four previously unpublished poems, and/or one short story or short play, essay, etc., which have not been submitted elsewhere, as separate word.doc attachments to the same email and send them to <susan.hansell@gmail.com> with the subject header:  Spot Lit Mag.  In other words, send each text as a separate word.doc attachment, but send the separate attachments in the same email.  Please type your name, snail-mail address, and your phone number in the regular email body window to which you are attaching your work/s, along with a 4-5 line bio.  Black-and-white photos and black-and-white artwork are desirable, as are cross-genre works. 

Authors and artists receive one free perfect-bound copy, limited-time internet publication (with permission; the take-down date is the publication of the subsequent issue), and one sponsored reading in the Southern California area.

Works must be original to the authors/artists and not under the attribution claim of any other artist/writer.  Works previously published (in either hardcopy or on internet sites) must be identified as such, and works with multiple author/artist attribution-right must be submitted concurrently by all attributed authors/artists. 

SLM assumes that authors and writers who submit works to SLM will avoid submitting the same works to other venues simultaneously and that SLM will be informed upon submission if another press or website (including an author's/artist's own website) has previously published or will be publishing a work submitted to SLM. 

To place your address on the SLM email notification list, please email the editor <susan.hansell@gmail.com>.

SLM issues are sometimes themed.  See the Upcoming page on this (the SLM) site, or the blog  <http://blog.susan-hansell.net> for complete specifications.
