Submission Guidelines

To assure you receive the best chance at publication, make sure you adhere to these guidelines.

--The Editors of roofbeam

All submissions should be typed, double-spaced and include the author's name and address (on separate cover for contest entries), and should be mailed flat. Entries into our contests must adhere to our rules and regulations.

All submissions including a SASE will be returned after consideration. It is the goal of our staff to comment on each and every submission we receive.

Submissions may also be sent via e-mail in WordPerfect or MS Word formats. You can also include your entry in the body of an e-mail message to [email protected].

First North American Publishing rights will be purchased from all authors roofbeam Communications publishes. While submissions of previous works will be considered for general publication, the author must inform us of its publication history upon submission. NO PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED WORK WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR OUR WRITING CONTESTS. FOR MORE INFORMATION ON CONTEST RULES SEE OUR RULES PAGE.

For information on our rates, see our rates page.

The editorial staff of roofbeam is looking for well-written, engaging work from both new and established writers. We understand that quality often transcends genre, so we encourage you to submit your finest work, regardless of theme or style. While shorter pieces (less than 5,000 words) allow us to publish more writers, we do welcome longer submissions.
