Verskaf asseblief 'n Persoonlike Biografie (50 woorde).
Onthou om jou Posaderes by te voeg sodat ons u komplimentere kopie kan stuur.
Elke dokument mag slegs EEN verhaal bevat.
Kortverhale word by uitstek tot 6 000 woorde beperk. Langer verhale sal slegs onder spesiale omstandighede toegelaat word. Langer bydraes pas moeiliker in, en mag derhalwe oorgesien word, en staan dus 'n geringer kans op publikasie.
Alhoewel ons per geleentheid uit ons pad gaan om die skrywer se voorkeure te handhaaf, kry die joernaal se behoeftes en vereistes voorkeur.
Indien u 'n buitengewone formaat of font benodig, dui dit asseblief aan, en verduidelik met 'n begeleidende brief die rede vir u vereiste.
Alle vorms en genre van Afrikaanse poësie word aanvaar. Daar is geen beperking op die lengte van 'n gedig nie, maar hoe langer dit is, hoe moeiliker pas dit in, mag derhalwe oorgesien word, en staan dus 'n geringer kans op publikasie.

A document should not normally contain more than ONE poem, unless part of a sequence of poems.
Although the length of a short story is restricted to 5 000 words, longer short stories (and novels or novellas) may be accommodated - typically serialized over several issues of the journal. Long contributions, however, are more difficult to fit and so stand a lesser chance of publication. And, although we make some effort to accommodate the author's preferences, the requirements of the journal will take priority, and format may be changed. If you require specific fonts and so on, please indicate this, explain and justify in a covering letter.
