Frequently Asked Questions

May I submit more than one piece?

Yes. A contributor may submit a maximum of ten works for consideration each year.

Who owns my poem/drawing/photograph if it is accepted for publication in Zephyr ?

You do. We simply reserve the right to use published pieces in promotion of the journal.

I do not attend or work at the University of New England. May I still submit work?

If you are a member of the immediate family of a person who attends or works at UNE, your work is eligible for submission. We also encourage Westbrook College/University of New England alumni to submit.

Are back issues of Zephyr available for purchase?

We have in our archives copies of issues 2 through 5 (spring 2001-spring 2004). You may purchase copies by visiting the order copies page. People whose work is accepted for publication receive a complimentary copy of the journal in which their work is published and a discounted purchase price for subsequent copies.

Will my written work be subject to editorial changes if accepted for publication?

We do our utmost to respect the rights of authors to have their works appear in their original forms; however, we routinely make grammatical/punctuation corrections to final copy.

Do you accept only poetry and short fiction?

No, we happily consider alternative forms of written expression, including, for example, brief essays, literary critiques and song lyrics.

Are there page limitations?
The recommended sizes of drawings and photographs are described on the submission form. Currently, there is a page limit of five.
