Introduction to our Guideline and Submission Information
for writers, poets, artist and photographers
The Embroiled News was first published in 1995 to promote the creativity of our local poets and writers in our small community of South Florida. We have now recently taken a big leap and successfully, are making the transition into the 21'st. Century's electronic age. We are also extending the same invitation we once made in 1995 to all artistic and creative visionaries. If you are an artist, photographer, writer, poet or a crafty person, please contribute and share your thoughts and work with us and the rest of the world. There is no cost to you, nor will you be awarded a grand monetary prize. Yet the contribution you will make will continue to keep alive that spark of creativity which of late has been dimming. Take a moment to consider, you will be glad you did and so will we.

Here is my personal invitation for submitting original work to ALL artists and photographers; writers and poets.
Briefly, what is absolutely essential at the moment and to help promote your work, I would need from artists or photographers 6 to 12 pictures of their work -- In total I will post up to 56 pictures in different genre on a rotating basis. For writers and poets I am suggesting that your submitted work should not be longer than 2500 words. In addition, please read the following information:
A- Must, enter your name or initials if you are the creator of the work; include the state and country of origin. Your postal and e-Mail address will also be needed for our records and correspondence with you, but it will never be disclosed to a third party.
B- Must, give a title or ID number to each finished work.
C- Must, give very brief information about yourself or if you find it easier, briefly explain how the work was achieved--mentioned the material used, technique, or the type of photo equipment, film etc.. For writers and poets as an alternative to your brief bio. you could perhaps mention what has inspired you to to write or give a brief statement about your work.
D- Optional, is your E-mail address -- This is added with the intent that some one will directly contact you and generate a sale transaction or comment. There is still a lot of good people out there in the world, some of them will even respond when they see or read something that will move their inner feelings. Art and the eloquent written word do that to us humans if we give others the trust and chance to communicate. We will however, not be your intermediary with the public at large; you can also be assured that we will not abused your privacy and e-Mail address. Nor do we charge a commissions to your sales derived from the exposure on our web site.
