Is there a deadline for submissions or limit to what is submitted (e.g., selection of poems versus draft manuscript)

Is 125 word limit only for our bio or is it for both bio and our answer to why/how we identify as Chicana? Do we send all pieces in one document or separate documents in email?

Hola Somos En Escrito Editorial Board, can these subs be previously published? I saw that for the sci-fi anthology they cannot be.

I would like to submit. I understand a short bio and a paragraph about Why Chicana is requested. How long would the essay be? Am I clear that a bio, paragraph and an essay or short story is also allowed?

Thank you for your interest in sharing your writings with us, Beatrice! Yes, we request a short paragraph on why you identify as a Xicana/Chicana, and a short bio. (no more than 250 words). As far as what literary genre you decide to decide to express yourself through: we accept poetry, personal essays, short stories, memoir pieces, etc. All prose submissions, including essays, have a 25 page maximum limit (as per our senior editor's guidelines). Personally, I prefer shorter pieces. Thanks!

As an Anglo writer who grew up in Southside Whittier AKA Sunshine Acres, I just want to say I love what you're doing.
