CRINKING POLICY

The Camel Saloon invites original and previously unpublished poetry. 

Prose pieces may also be considered for placement in the tavern itself or in The Bactrian Room.

Author bios are welcome.  So is artwork and photography. 

Acceptance grants The Camel Saloon one time electronic publishing rights.  Upon publication, all rights revert immediately to the author. 

Publication is scheduled three times per week:  Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.

Submitting authors may expect a timely response from the editor of The Camel Saloon.

HAT AND COAT CHECK POLICY

The editor requests that the following be checked at the door:

(1)  Poems about being a poet, poems about writing poetry, and poems about poetry;
(2)  Poems about cats; allusions to cats; or mention of same;
(3)  Poems that conclude by asking a question; and
(4)  Pithy thoughts or aphorisms of a few lines masquerading as a poem.

On poems about the 1960s, the War in Vietnam, and all related events, the Saloon prefers to let the dead rest in peace, and for the ghosts to speak for themselves.

Please refrain from word attachments unless requested. 

Simultaneous submissions will not be accepted without specific permission.
