All submissions to Sketchbook must be the original work of the submitting author/artist. The work must be unpublished and not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Published material includes items that appear in print Journals, in public on-line forums, on personal web pages where individuals can access the pages, online photo albums, and blogs.

The Sketchbook editors will consider the secondary publication of selected materials, especially in conjunction with the publication of new unpublished works; such publication is subject to the approval of an editor.

Copyright to all work published in Sketchbook is held by the artists and authors. No work published in any issue may be copied, reproduced or republished without the written permission of the individual author/creator.  Artists and authors are free to republish their work in other venues when the issue is no longer current--after 60 days. However, if works are republished in a different venue, then the artists and authors must agree as a condition of acceptance for original publication in Sketchbook to credit Sketchbook as the place of first publication.

Sketchbook does not pay authors and artists for works accepted for publication. Sketchbook reserves the future right to republish all items from the Sketchbook website http://poetrywriting.org in digital, hard copy or CD format as well as promotional materials for any issue, e-card, annual yearbook or calendar.

Writers submitting for the first time to Sketchbook should include a short biography and a jpg photo. Attach the jpg photo to an e-mail, preferably the e-mail containing the biography as well as the genre being submitted.  Please check the Author Biographies of any recent issue.  Author Biographies:
 A - M  and / or N - Z

Multiple genre may be included in a single submission; however, writer's need to clearly label each genre in the submission.  Multiple submissions may be sent during any submission period for an issue.

The Sketchbook editors are interested in publishing quality material in multiple genre.  Writers who have a writing or artistic project, article or media they believe will be interesting to Sketchbook  readers, should send a letter of inquiry to Karina Klesko: ProjectInquiry@poetrywriting.org  with the Subject Line: Project Inquiry Karina Klesko

Haiga:  Haiga should be submitted as attachments to a regular e-mail. Please, clearly state the specific genre:  Haiga, Collaborative Haiga, Photo Haiga, Collaborative Photo Haiga, Free Verse Haiga etc.  In the case of collaborative work please include the full names of all the collaborating artists/authors and clearly designate their responsibility / contribution:  i.e.  Photo by Joe Public: Haiku by Josephine Jones, for example.  Please, supply the e-mail addresses of all parties involved in a collaboration.

Additionally, it is necessary that all collaborators involved in a work grant Sketchbook the right of first publication as well as a condition of acceptance for publication the requirement to name Sketchbook as the place of first publication in the event that the work is republished later in a different venue. Please ask all collaborators to directly e-mail this permission statement to Sketchbook:

Haiga:  (place the first line of text here)
Artist:   (name, and media--artist, photographer, etc)

I, (insert name here), a collaborator in the Haiga specified above, grant Sketchbook the right of first publication.  I understand that 60 days must elapse before I can submit this creative work for republication in a different venue.  If the work is submitted elsewhere after the first publication in Sketchbook, then I am required  to request the editors to include a notice stating Sketchbook was the first publisher of the work (include, publication, page, date, link and relevant information):
