Well, enter anything you like, new writes, pre-writes, prose, poems, columns, short stories whatever.
I just hope you submit your best work to be read. Please don't waste my time or others with bad writing.
I'm partial to feminist themes, free-verse, malignant & angry poetry, unusual themes and points of view.
I don't care much for religious poetry, political-rhetoric poetry, cutting, suicide, romance (which includes adult and erotica), or humorous poetry.
However, if your best writes center on these themes, by all means enter it. You do stand a better chance of winning if you submit your best write that also happens to be something I prefer. But enter anyway, I may like your writing if not your topic.
I'll critical comment as I see fit. I don't believe in saying something if it has no meaning. Therefore, if I have nothing remarkable to say about your writing, I'll simply write "thank you for entering and good luck in the contest." This line does not mean that your writing is good or bad, just that I have nothing worth saying about it.
- I reserve the right to DQ if the writing is not up to par (i.e. it contains more grammatical and mechanical errors than it does coherent writing).
- I reserve the right to end this contest early.
- I reserve the right to add a judge (Anyone interested?).
I'm done rambling. Go ahead and enter anything.
