MLM has enjoyed the hosting services provided by GoDaddy for years, however, the service has been lackluster at times, and we have even received a few emails about the site being slow. We have decided to change to a new company, and over the next week that change will take place.

We strongly advise authors who submit this week to double check their submissions in the submission manager to be sure they will not get lost in the shuffle.

Regards,
Anthony

We are now accepting submissions for our 2011 chapbook poetry contest. You will need 30 to 40 poems. Winner is selected by our editor.

Prize will be 5 free copies of the chapbook and publication (no money). We will accept manuscripts for this contest by email until November 25th and we will announce the winner on Christmas (Dec. 25th 2011). The winner will be posted on our awards page for the world to see.

To enter, email your manuscript in a .doc or .docx file with your contact information and blurb. Be sure to include your name, address, phone number, and email address. The subject line of your email must be “Poetry Chapbook Contest.” Email your submission to editor@midwestliterarymagazine.com (ignore the autoresponder message you will receive).

Reprints of selected poems are fine as long as you include the acknowledgement.
