Real Submission

What genres do you accept?

Before answering any questions, I am proud to announce that all submitters will receive a free subscription to the electronic version of The Real Eight View which includes one e-mail notification of every online issue published.

What themes do you accept?

Funny you should ask because we were about to tell you. Our emphasis is now on experimental poetry. However, we also like to read about and publish life experiences through the themes of resentment, romance, disappointment, spirituality, nature, sarcastic or ironic comedy or depression - something anyone can relate to.

We began accepting submissions on March 5th, 2004 and do not plan on stopping anytime soon. There is no specific cut off date for individual issues.

And how shall we submit our Real work?

Wow! You guys sure ask a lot of questions. OK. Submit your Real work as follows:

Poetry

  • Poems may be any length with a maximum of one title per submission and no maximum number so submissions per monthly issue. Submit all you want by using the Submission Form.

Graphical Poetry

John, what is the meaning of life?

If you don't know that, then we're not going to tell you. We will tell you this: Submit yourself to The Real Eight View and your meaning may be clearer to you.

And who owns the rights to the work we submit?

Damn. Here we go with the Real legal stuff. We claim one time rights which mean the rights revert back to the author. We do reserve the right to publish in print anything that has appeared on The Real Eight View site at any time, should we in the future establish ourselves as an in-print magazine.

Just one more thing John, how long do we have to wait for a response?

We will attempt to respond to everyone within four to six weeks. Some may receive one sooner and some may receive one later. Neither is a reflection on how we view your work.

How much do you pay?

We said no more questions!

How much do you pay?

Fine! We can not, at this time, be considered a member of the paying market but are currently researching different avenues of generating income in order to pay for your work in future issues.

Disclaimer

We ask that you stick to the guidelines as closely as possible. However, we will remain true to one basic rule: if we like it and have room for it, we will use it.
