Simultaneous submissions are welcome, as is previously published material. We also welcome submissions of photographs, audio and/or video content that supplements your poems. Please include an author bio, and, if possible, a photo of yourself. If one of your poems is selected for a weekly profile, we will contact you and at that point ask you the "five questions" for the interview portion of your profile.
If interested, please send 2-3 poems in the text of an e-mail (no attachments, with the exception of media supplements such as photos) to oneghanaonevoice(at)gmail.com. Subject line: "Submission".
Special call for poems in Twi: We are looking for poems written in Twi. English translations are optional, but encouraged. Send your submission using the subject line: "Submission - Twi Poem".
Special call for header photos: Every year OGOV's template is redesigned. We feature a new photo from Ghana as our header, and use it as inspiration for OGOV colour scheme and layout. If you have a photo from Ghana that you think would work well, send it to us along with a brief explanation of the photo. In thanks, we will link to your website off our main page for the following year. Send your submission using the subject line: "Submission - Header Photo".
It will take us some time to consider if or how submissions will fit into our publishing cycle. Expect that you may not hear from us for up to three months.
Guidelines last updated January 6th, 2010.
