Owl Light Literary

Owl Light literary is not being published at this time. Follow us at fb@canadicepress for updates on what we are doing.


Some general Guidelines that make it more likely we will look at and publish your work:

→Original content that is relevant to residents of the rural northeastern US;
→ Well written and thoughtful work that offers innovative visions of the rural experience;
→Name, title of the submission and e-mail (or other contact information) on page one (numbered pages);
→ Use a standard font, 12-point type. Times New Roman, Arial, or Courier are fine
(simple and legible – what counts is the writing, not how fancy the page looks)! 
→Send literary submissions in doc/ docx.
→If you are sending poetry or other written work with non-traditional layout, also include a pdf to ensure that formatting is retained.
→Up to three poems equals (1) submission.
→Send images in jpg, or PNG (300+dpi), or pdf .
