SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Please send 1-3 poems or 1 prose piece (microfiction - 500 words or less, an article - 1000 words or less) to MCCA, P.O Box 436, Prince Street Station, New York, NY 10012. Be sure to include a self-addressed stamped envelope for a response to your submission. No work will be returned, so make sure you keep a copy of everything. If you prefer you may e-mail your writing to fpolizzi@medcelt.org. Please cut and paste your submission onto the e-mail or attach a PDF file of your submission. If there is a print version of Feile-Festa, then you will receive one copy, which would be your only payment. Please do not send any art work of any kind. One artist's work will be featured in each issue based on our own research and interest. Though our preference is for creative work related to Irish and Italian/Sicilian themes, we are open to other Mediterranean and Celtic cultures, all of which may be connected to your family heritage in America, Argentina, Australia, Brazil or Canada. We are also interested in writing that evokes life in New York City.
Feile-Festa is an annual publication that comes out in the spring of each year. The reading period starts October 1st and ends January 1st. Please do not send submissions outside the time frame mentioned in the guidelines. Thanks!
