TIPS TO WRITERS/POETS: Bear in mind that Samsara accepts mainstream, science fiction, fantasy, and horror that has suffering as its theme. All of the above types of stories/poetry have been published in Samsara. Make sure you give me honesty, intensity, and fresh imagery.

You may wish to query first before sending your manuscript due to the fact that Samsara has a somewhat irregular reading schedule. Electronic queries are okay, but I do not accept electronic submissions at this time.
