SOMETHING TO CONSIDER WHEN SUBMITTING YOUR MANUSCRIPT:
Primarily for poetry/prose submissions - if layout and spacing are integral to your work then please take mythium's layout spacing into consideration prior to sending it to us.
We promise to remain as physically true to your submission as possible, but EDITING HAPPENS! - especially when your lines run longer than the 4.5" width space allotted for your work.
Many poets who employ extended lines tend to use the standard 8.5"x11" size sheet as their default; if you are a poet with lengthy couplets, for example, then your lines may
break awkwardly when formatted to journal dimensions and you might be unsatisfied with the final results. of course, we're willing to resize your work to accommodate the space,
but if doing so hinders readability then that raises the probability of it not being published.
