10 Easy Tips on How to Properly Submit to Toad

**Has your submitted work been previously published? We don’t want it.

**Toad accepts submissions year-around. Simultaneous submissions are welcome provided you notify us when your work has found a loving home. Please send these notification emails as responses to your original submission. Multiple submissions per genre aren’t accepted, so please check updates at the bottom of this page to see when we’re reading for the next issue.

**Toad is both ahead and behind the times. We accept submissions by email and carrier pigeon only.

**Before submitting, please make eye candy out of Toad, and realize we want exciting art and we want it all: videos, music, collaborative projects, ekphrastic works, genre-crossing/bending art, and of course, all the usual suspects, with Verbal Kint included.

**Please include the genre of your work and last name in the subject line of all submissions, and in the title of all attachment documents (e.g. Dramatic Monologue-Jagger).

**In the body of the email include your name, and one or many aspect/s of everyday life that you consider art. (See the contributor’s page for happenin’ examples.)

**Attach a single PDF or Word document that contains your submission.

**Please include no more than six poems, three “flashing fictions,” two French hens, or one prose piece per genre submission.

**If you are submitting A-R-T that exists beyond the realm of a Word document, please include your contact information and bio in the body of the email, along with any links or subsequent attachments for us to experience.

**Send all properly formatted submissions and questions to toadthejournal@gmail.com.

We will do our best to respond within 30 days, however, we may require more time. If you haven’t heard from us within two months, feel free to follow-up with queries regarding the status of your submission.
