Submit Your Work! Please Use the Submissions Form Below! Or send to submissions@mtls.ca in word document with bio\/contact cover page<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Writers and readers should please take note that typos and corrections that were missed in the heat of production will be weeded out from this website’s content during two months of post-mortem after an issue’s initial publication date. We need the two months as this is a huge journal. <\/strong><\/p>\n Important note*: All contributions already published in MTLS cannot be removed or changed for historical, research and archival reasons – just as with the preservation of print publications. Moreover, this journal is collected by the Canadian National Library and Archives for the same purposes and as a record for posterity as well as being circulated by EBSCO to global university libraries. <\/p>\n General Call for Submissions: Ongoing **Important note on submitting material: Please note that our online submissions form is sometimes glitchy. If you have problems submitting through the form on this page, simply use our submissions email: <submissions@mtls.ca>. In such a case, your submissions will be understood as being in agreement with the legal clause at the end of the submissions form below. You submission should indicate genre on a cover page which also includes your bio and contact information – especially so that we can send you an honorarium. <\/p>\n The Maple Tree Literary Supplement provides a platform for dialogue or interviews on any topic between and amongst Canadian writers while featuring their work and reporting on literary events, landmarks or festivals in Canada and around the world\u2013with an emphasis on their Canadian composition. MTLS has some of Canada\u2019s most exciting writers on its editorial and advisory board, including George Elliot Clarke, Olive Senior and John Ralston Saul with Amatoritsero Ede as Managing Editor.<\/p>\n After a fiscal break, we have resumed paying our traditional 30-dollar honorarium to each contributor in any one genre<\/strong> beginning with the current issue #28. We hope to increase this in the future. Please indicate the genre to which your writing belongs in the submissions forms. <\/p>\n Prospective contributors should browse our site at www.mtls.ca and target their submissions to specific sections of the journal \u2013 Poetry, Essays, Creative Non-Fiction, Reviews, Roundtable, Impressions, Literary Images and Drama. All contributions should be sent to submissions@mtls.ca and enquiries to managingeditor@mtls.ca. While some materials will be solicited directly, unsolicited submissions are welcome \u2013 especially images of literary events with captions from Canadian Literary Festivals. Text Submissions should be in Times New Roman and 12 point size, without numbering and in word document format; pictures\/images should be in Jpeg format. Please add a cover page with bio and address. All text should be submitted as one file. It is a good idea to take a look at those MTLS pages, which are similar to your submission when formatting your material. Reviews, for example, should follow the formatting we have on the site.<\/p>\n MTLS is now bi-annual, as such submissions response time will fall within the 6 months preceding an upcoming issue, if not earlier. Essays on a broad range of subjects should be in a relaxed non-academic, free-flowing style, without footnotes or superscripts, unless such essays are of the occasional scholarly type that appear in MTLS. Reviews should be between 500-800 words in length. Fiction includes short stories and excerpts from longer prose work in progress; creative non-fiction comprises travelogues and other kinds of literary non-fiction. Poetry should be of high quality and numbered between 4 and 6 poems of not more than 60 lines each or one long poem of not more than 120 lines. Excerpts of dramatic pieces between 3 and 4 pages are encouraged. The Roundtable section is in the interview or dialogue format between two or more Canadian writers. Contributors can propose a topic of discussion to us and find a respondent writer or writers to take part in that conversation. Publishers, especially small presses, are welcome to take part in the Impressions section, discussing the history of the making of a particular book, its reception, fate and challenges as well as the histories of their own presses. This is apart from a general discussion of the history of the Canadian book and printing industry up to such recent developments as online publishing technologies.<\/p>\n Review copies of literary works by publishers should NOT be sent to the publisher’s address as was the practice but directly to the reviewer. Reviewers may also write, with the support of MTLS, to publishers and directly solicit review copies. Again, literary festivals and reading series may contact us since we welcome unsolicited images capturing literary events in pictures for the Literary Images section of the journal. Pictures should be of high resolution and in colour. As mentioned above, all textual contributions should be in word document format, and photos should be sent as jpeg files. Contributors should attach their pictures and a short bio; in the case of publishers, we would appreciate a jpeg attachment of institutional logos and a brief history of the publisher and their major areas of operation. You may, alternatively use the form on the middle column to submit your work. It is fast and tidy, and material is directed into the <submissions@mtls.ca> mailbox.<\/p>\n\n <\/p>
