GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSIONS

• The Caldron comes out quarterly. This is the beginning of our third year of publication. For the winter, 2004 issue, please submit no later than the first of December, 2004.
  
• However, if you have a piece that you wish to submit after this deadline but before the deadline for the following issue, send it in anyway and we will add it to this issue midway through the quarter. Just be sure to follow the theme of the issue. The same goes for every future issue. In this way, we will always be more current and relevant with respect to what is going on in the world today.
  
• In addition to accepting submissions after the deadline, we will also begin an ongoing piece in The Caldron, called "BeHereNow," where we can all share information, comments and insights that are relevant to the ongoing world situation. "BeHereNow" will function as a bulletin board where we can all share whatever we have found to be relevant and meaningful in the news or in our own lives. These sharings may be submitted at any time and will be posted as they come in. Please limit them to three hundred words or less.
  
• We are a radical spiritual source, devoted to supporting the voices of the people. We welcome fiction, non-fiction, and poetry. We welcome images and music as well. We especially welcome thought provoking and spiritually relevant essays concerning the evolving spiritual situation that we are all facing these days. There is need now more than ever for a conscious dialog regarding the spiritual changes that are going on in the world today.
  
• We welcome unsolicited submissions. Please include a two-sentence biography. Also, include your name and address on all e-mails. Make as many submissions as you wish. We encourage new artists, musicians and writers with something to say.
  
• Each issue of The Caldron will have a theme. The theme of the winter, 2004 issue will be Return of the Light.

• If you are submitting an essay, a poem, or a short story, please e-mail it to us in 'text only' or as a word.doc. Send text to Eugene, attn: Submissions Editor.
  
• All images must be submitted in digital format. JPG's may also be sent to Eugene.
  
• If you are submitting music, it is best to either post mp3s on a website where we can download them, or deliver them on CD. On CD, these can be mp3, audio, WAV, AIFF... (If you aren't local and wish to send us a CD, write for snail mail addresses)
