Submitting work for
publication
General
questions about Webstatic
How do I
submit work to be published at Webstatic?
- To
submit work for consideration by the Webstatic editors, complete the on-line submission
form. You must submit three titled works including
the year each was originally written or copyrighted.
Your submissions will not be acknowledged unless
selected for publication.
- The
editors screen hundreds of submissions per month, but
select only 10 to 20 writers per year to be showcased at
Webstatic. Writers selected to be published at the site
generally show unique perspectives and style in
one of the
themes common to Webstatic.
- If your
work is selected to be published at Webstatic, we will
request your biography and a photo at that time, for inclusion at
Webstatic. The biography is required but a
photo is optional. Do not send
them with regular submissions.
- The underlying considerations for publication at Webstatic
are that readers can relate on an emotional level with the poems, the poems
are non-abstract
and easily understood.
- Webstatic does
not accept submissions from children age 12 or under.
Does Webstatic
pay for submissions?
- No.
Webstatic does not pay for publication
submissions.
How many works
can I have published at Webstatic?
- The
current limit on a writer’s showcase is ten works.
When a writer exceeds the ten-work limit, their older
work is archived in another section at the Webstatic
site.
How does
published work at Webstatic end up in the archives?
- Generally,
work is archived if we have not published new work by an
author or the author has not contacted us for 8
- 12 months. Work is also archived if a writer's
active showcase would exceed
the ten-work limit.
I
was a
Webstatic contest winner. Will more of my work be featured at
Webstatic?
- Publication at
Webstatic as a showcased poet is by invitation only.
In some cases
the editors have requested
additional samples of work from contest winners, to consider for
publication in a showcase.
How long will
my poetry remain at Webstatic?
- Showcased
poets remain at Webstatic, either active or archived,
indefinitely, unless they request to be removed.
When contests are being conducted, the
work of contest winners stays up for at least six months, or
longer at the sole discretion of the editors.
Some of my
friends can hear music at Webstatic, but I can’t. What’s
going on?
- Music will play on most of the
pages at Webstatic if you are using the Microsoft Internet Explorer
browser. Visitors using other browsers probably won’t hear the music.
Our server statistics show that more than 90 percent of our visitors use one of Microsoft’s browsers. We
coded our music to work with
the browser used by the majority of our visitors.
Does
Webstatic belong to any Internet Poetry Rings?
- Webstatic
withdrew
from all poetry web rings. Our reason for doing so was
the questionable content of certain ring-member
sites.
Does
Webstatic sponsor or bestow any Internet awards?
- Not at the present
time. We are designing three awards to recognize
deserving Internet sites, but the screening criteria is
not final. There will be a site award for outstanding
poetry content, another award for outstanding visual
design on a poetry site, and an award for a combination
of both. These awards will be granted annually and will also
include cash prizes.
