Attention contributors: If you have been in the Journal before, I may have to make an adjustment to your name in the sidebar. This is because the web program I use will not duplicate names-this means that if your name was already here as Doe, John I may need to change it to Doe,J or Doe, Mr. the next time. I have been researching new programs but it is not a priority to change right now.

Please read The Shine Journal so you know what kind of work is featured.

Guidelines:

All published works are also archived online and may be featured in print anthologies without additional payment. All rights revert to the authors after publication. We ask that we be advised if the work is or has been published elsewhere.

Please spellcheck and proofread your work carefully. Please avoid gratuitous sex, profanity, or work which disrespects or demeans an ethnic group, a person's sexual orientation or physical/mental challenge. In other words, although I am not a prude or easily offended, the intent of The Shine Journal is to showcase work of the highest quality. I reserve the right to define what that means for this publication.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:

1.Please do NOT indent paragraphs in your short stories and articles.

2.Please SINGLE space within paragraphs and DOUBLE space between paragraphs.

3.For poems: Please SINGLE space within stanzas and DOUBLE space between stanzas.

I may make small edits to your work without notice to you. These usually include punctuation, spacing, etc. but that' s why I'm the editor. (smile)

Up to 5.00 per poem <-- depending on poem length
5.00 per story/article

Payment via Paypal is preferred and is paid approximately one month to two months (four- eight weeks) after publication. If you do NOT want the payment, it will revert to The Shine Journal and you will be listed as a Shining Supporter like any other donation.
Please advise if your work is published elsewhere before you hear back from us. Previously published work is ok so long as you provide name of previous publisher.
NOTE: You may submit up to three poems or photos/artwork at a time. Prose - submit only ONE and in any case don't submit again until you have heard back on the first submission of any kind.
