The reading period for the Fall 2011 issue is over. The Spring 2012 reading period will begin on February 1, 2012.
We accept electronic submissions in the categories of fiction,
poetry, creative nonfiction, short plays and play excerpts, literary translation, and comics. All submissions
to Ozone Park must be original, previously unpublished work in English.
-Your submission should include a cover letter and up to three poems, one ten-page short play or play excerpt, or no more than 7500 words.
-No multiple submissions within a single genre, please! You may submit to more than one genre. We welcome simultaneous submissions (work that is also under review at other venues) with the understanding that you will immediately inform us if your work is accepted elsewhere.
-Manuscripts should be sent as a single .doc or .rtf file. Send comics as .jpg, .gif, .tif, or .png image files.
-Translated work should include both an English translation and a copy of the work in the original language. Although Ozone Park Journal is responsible for securing foreign rights for translations, translators should determine in advance of submission that rights are available or that the work is in the public domain.
Our Fall submission period is September 1 to December 8. Our Spring submission period is February 1 to May 8. Work submitted outside of these periods will not be read. Please note that after a submission season has ended, we do not hold that season's submissions to be considered for a future issue of the journal.
