Articles of submission for our books and journal depend on many criteria, but overall items submitted must conform to one ethereal trait, your work must not suck. This put plainly, bad art should be punished; we will not promote it. However, all submissions will be reviewed and the author will receive feedback. We are human too. Please send your work. BlazeVOX [books] had recognized a deficiency in our publication catalog. We are now in the process of developing a book series that promotes the work of women who are courageous, innovative, definition defying writers.
