Submission Guidelines
James Ivan Kingsley is the editor for E-Lit 1st Magazine. He leads a team of acquisitions editors who reject 99% of all manuscripts. DO NOT contact us if you are an unpublished writer, if you are a vanity-published writer or if you write only for the Internet. Not only will we reject these horrible manuscripts, we will write you back an ugly email and will send you a PayPal bill for wasting our time.
If you have been traditionally published and have crafted an engaging story that targets a specific audience and sells them a product, then you may write to us. You may also have your agent contact me personally. (If he is a legitimate New York agent then he will know how to contact me) Send all correspondence through our webmaster at greatauthorforum@yahoo.com and title each email as “Solicited Submission.” I am not going to tell you what you need to do to be accepted. You should already know. There is no payment for publication but you get a byline listed and can tell others that you were traditionally published by a major magazine.
UNIVERSAL SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
1.Write for money. Determine your market. How much money do you expect the work to make and why?
2.Delete, delete, delete. We don't like big words or long sentences. Editors read for hours on end and have short attention spans. Respectfully keep things simple.
3.Please send a SASE to our email address' physical location. We will delete any messages that come directly to our email without first being screened from the physical mailing address of our email location. We cannot emphasize this enough. Learn to follow directions precisely if you ever want us to consider your work
4.Please call the editor by his last name and address him with honor. Or include money.
5.We will not consider any work without a signed release form that guarantees E-Lit 1st exclusive rights to your work and the right to recycle your idea without pay or credit into our own project. This is standard practice in the publishing industry.
