| Copies of Kaleidoscope Magazine (culled from website) |
Kaleidoscope magazine
is
accepting short fiction, poetry, creative non-fiction, and visual arts which creatively focus on the experiences of disability through literature
and the fine arts. The material chosen for Kaleidoscope challenges and overcomes stereotypical, patronizing, and sentimental attitudes about disability. The editors accept works of writers with and without disabilities, however
the work of a writer without a disability must focus on some aspect of
disability.
The criteria for good writing apply: effective technique,
thought-provoking subject matter, and in general, a mature grasp of the
art of story-telling. Writers should avoid using offensive language and
always put the person before the disability.
Word count: 5,000 words maximum/double spaced.
Payment is made upon publication and varies from $10 to $125, plus
contributors receive two complimentary copies of the magazine. Copyright
reverts to author upon publication.
UDS considers unsolicited material (always include SASE), accepts
simultaneously published work, acknowledges receipt in two weeks,
rejects or accepts within six months, and reserves the right to minor
editing without author’s approval (substantive editing with approval)
