WORM is a poetry zine distributed by email, then archived permanently on the WORM webpages: www.villarana.freeserve.co.uk/wormhome.htm
The deadline for WORM 39 is 28th February 2007. Please send up to 5 poems, free verse or formal, to: wordbug@btinternet.com
(in the body of an email, not as an attachment).
Please note: Previous publication or simultaneous submissions are not problems for WORM.

All submissions are forwarded (without authors' names) to my 2 co-editors and selection is made on the basis of our combined scores. My co-editors for WORM 39 are K.R.Copeland and Christina Fletcher.

Any questions, just drop me an email. I know Everything.
Regards,
Margaret
(M.A.Griffiths,
Resident editor)

BTW, I always acknowledge submissions, so if you don't receive an acknowledgement within a few days, don't hesitate to re-submit.

The "body" of an e-mail destroys many useful aspects of typography.

Attachments preserve the look of a poem.

Bob, are you using some plain-text-only email client? I find that when I compose something in Wordperfect and paste it into an email message, the formatting is preserved. And I receive messages in HTML format all the time.

Bob,
A feature of WORM is that each issue is first distributed by email (and recipients are encouraged to send it on to anyone they think may be interested). So if a poem has some very tricksy formatting that can't stand up to that, then it's best to know that at the start, I think. Actually I can only remember this being a problem a few times--and once I sorted it out by judicious use of my space-bar.


Regards, Maz
