• We urge you either to subscribe to E.D. ($20.00 for three issues) or to purchase a sample copy ($8.00, including postage)  so that you may have an idea of E.D.'s content and format.
• E.D. publishes both general and theme-oriented issues. Information about upcoming issues is generally available in the late fall. Subscribers receive advance notice of upcoming themes or general issues. Unsolicited manuscripts which do not meet announced criteria will be returned, as will mss. received past the announced deadline date.
• All submissions must be accompanied by a stamped self-addressed envelope (SASE) which is the same size and carries the same amount of postage as the envelope used for the submissions. If you do not want your mss. returned, please say so in your cover letter and include a stamped sel-addressed envelope so we may notify you of our decision regarding your work.
• We cannot accept submissions over the internet. Please send to our mailing address:

  Earth's Daughters
  P.O. Box 41, Central Park Station
  Buffalo, NY 14215.

• For each issue, writers are requested to submit only 3 poems or short prose pieces, 3 pages double spaced. Because of formatting limitations, we ask that you keep in mind that our usual page width margin is approximately five inches. If your poetry submissions exceed that margin, please indicate where line breaks can be made.
• Occasionally, we accept Black and White graphics. Photocopies or laser prints are acceptable if clearly legible.
• Simultaneous submissions are OK, but we must be notified immediately if the work is accepted elsewhere.
• Once you have submitted work, please be patient. Occasionally, writers ask us the status of work which we have received within the last week or so. After the announced deadline for an issue, it generally takes the collective at least two months to read through the hundreds of submissions E.D. received. If you must contact us (change of address or other reason), be sure to state the theme of the issue for which your submission was intended, the title(s) of your work, and enclose a SASE.
• We acquire first rights only, after which the copyright reverts to the writer.
• Contributors will receive two copies of the issue for which they have been accepted. Additional copies are available at cost.
