  Failure to complete the following may result in your submission being rejected.

  2. The following file types are accepted: .odt, .pspimage, .jpg, .gif, .png, .doc, .txt. Any other file types will be rejected.
  
  3. In your submission, you must include your contact info (to receive your copy), a bio and publishable contact information (email address, website). If your are a repeat contributor, you can omit this part. I will re-use your previous bio/contact info, unless you inform me of any changes.
  
  4. All submissions must have one of the following subject lines: “ITAK” or “It Takes All Kinds”. Any other subject line will not guarantee that your email won’t make it into the spam folder.

  6. Your submission must be in by the deadline, unless you’ve made previous arrangements. Issues are quarterly on the following schedule: January [deadline December 31], April [deadline March 31], July [deadline June 30], October [deadline September 30].
  
  7. I reserve the right to reject any submission for any reason, but most likely because it offends me or promotes an “ism”.

  
  

  What you get in return for submitting to ITAK:
  

• Since I can’t quite afford to pay anyone yet for their submissions, I am paying by way of one contributor copy per issue that publishes your submission.
  
• You also can take advantage of the discounted rate for extra copies, which is currently 33% off the retail price of the issue in which your submission appears.
  
• You also get mentioned and/or linked at bravegirlstudio.
