Writers' Guidelines...?

Ok, since publishing "Johnny Cash Wouldn't Lie" I have had several questions concerning *gasp* submissions to The Kentucky Mountain Girl News.

It was always a possibility I could open this up to outside sources so, perhaps a small step in that direction wouldn't be such a bad idea. Unfortunately, I wouldn't be paying anyone, but you "could" have a bi-line, which is always helpful in building a portfolio of your published works, which is something editors really look at.

SO, here is the dish:

If you have something you would like to submit to The Kentucky Mountain Girl News, email me at hahwriter@yahoo.com and I will send you guidelines.

As it stands right now, I am open to considering poetry and short fiction, less than 5000 words. No profanity, unless it is really necessary for the story. No fan fiction, unless it is really, really, really good and can make me change my mind about it.

Poetry 46 lines max.

Non-fiction, please query.

Whoever is published here retains all rights to their work.

I guess that's in for the "guidelines" possibility, but, just send me an email. If you want to actually submit something, put it in the body of the email itself and make sure you have something (asterisks or something) showing me where there should be italics. And, please, double-space between paragraphs.

Thanks.

Thanks for your comment to my "Just Deal With The Top" and your "regarding my book comment". Since God seems to be actively arranging events through you even though you probably didn't volunteer have you any suggestions??

Thanks for your comments on my blog "What I Learned About Shit From The Compost Heap". You were really kind. I also got your e-mail. I know you believe in God too, so you will well understand when I make the comment that when God decides to move you into a new adventure he doesn't fool around!!! I see another wild and interesting ride coming down the pipe!!!
