Raw Mischief Press review
Raw Mischief Press publishes poetry. Its catalogue lists “Ephemeral Eternities” by Surreption, a collection about grief, love and identity. If you want to send work of your own, start with Submissions. The press opens separate windows for individual poems and chapbooks.
Prepare the poem in plain text
The press asks for one to three original, unpublished poems for its individual submissions. The form welcomes plain text. If the layout matters to the poem, the guidelines say the press will request a formatted PDF after acceptance. I’d keep a copy with the original spacing and prepare a plain-text version for the form. Scrivener gives you a place to keep revisions of that text together.
Check the terms before sending the same poem elsewhere
The guidelines allow simultaneous submissions and ask you to withdraw if another publication takes the poem. Raw Mischief also asks for three months of exclusivity for work it publishes and says it sends accepted writers a contributor agreement. If I had several submissions out, I’d keep a list of where each poem was and check the agreement when a reply came back.
Anabel’s take
I’d send the one poem I most wanted an editor to read. Before using the form, I’d paste it into a plain-text file and see what happens to the line breaks. That gives me a better idea of what the editor will see.
