Monthly Newsletter Contest

Submissions are open to newsletter subscribers only.

The first Monday of every month features a poem, short story, or an art piece submitted by you and is sent to all of our subscribers!

This is a great opportunity to get publicity for your newest publication, blog, website, etc.

Submission guidelines:

You may submit:

  • one poem
  • one story 500 words or less
  • one art piece

You can only submit one piece per month.

You must also submit a 100 word (or less) author bio. Longer bios will disqualify your work. Please feel free to include links to where you might like traffic directed!

Ramblr uses an automatic emailing system to confirm your submission. If you did not get an automatic reply, you have not properly submitted.

Only submissions sent to the correct email listed in the monthly newsletter will be considered.

It will be confirmed that the winner is a newsletter subscriber before the work is published.

You will only find out if your work was accepted by reading the newsletter on the first Monday of the next month!
