Big Pond Rumours is an international literary E-Zine that publishes poetry, story, literary essays and biographies. The publication supports emerging and established authors by exposing them to an international online audience. It releases two issues each year, Summer and Winter.
It seeks quality poems and short stories. Poems could be up to 6 pages and stories between 500 to 8,000 words. It also accepts literary essays and biographies but request that you query them first. You can submit any ‘genre’ (kind, category or sort of writing) as long as they are previously unpublished. It accepts pdf, doc and docx files for texts and jpg and gif for images.
Submit your work via its Submittable or email your submission to: editor@big-pond-rumours.com. Include a cover letter with name, address, phone number and working email. Also add a note detailing your previous publications and where you live for contributor notes. And, include a head shot too for the contributors’ notes.
The E-Zine also runs a contest for poetry and short fiction. Check its website for more details. Direct all inquiries to Sharon Berg at editor@big-pond-rumours.com or at sharon@sharonberg.com.
