Pocket Thoughts has been receiving tons of submissions, so don't forget to submit and become part of the first issue!  Some of you may be confused about what Pocket Thoughts is and what its aim is as well. Pocket Thoughts is a magazine (e-zine if you prefer) that publishes the best work only.  There will never be multiple works from one author in a single issue, because we believe that everyone has something to say. This means that best works from the best authors are chosen to represent the excellence that Pocket Thoughts believes is out there.


We also need to clear up another issue.  For authors who have been accepted for publication of a particular issue of Pocket Thoughts, there is absolutely no charge. There never will be a charge for authors who are accepted into a particular issue, nor will a charge be applied to anyone who works on a particular issue. For everyone else, there is indeed a $1 fee to download an issue. We have kept the cost low so that everyone will have the chance to enjoy the best work from new and established authors. It must also be understood that the $1 fee will be used for marketing purposes only.


Over time, each issue will improve in quality of submissions and overall look of the magazine itself. We hope to acquire more editors, illustrators, and marketing agents in the future, but, as we have said, this will take time. For now, we are opening our doors to editors. If you are interested in joining the Pocket Thoughts team of editors, please send an email to :


Mattiello21@gmail.com


With the following information:

   :bulletred:Short Bio – up to approximately 50 words

   :bulletred:List up to five past publications with links if applicable

   :bulletred:List personal blogs if applicable

   :bulletred:List editing experience if applicable

   :bulletred:Reason for applying and tell us what you can do for Pocket Thoughts

Required:

   :bulletred:If accepted you will be given a "mock piece" to edit and decide whether said piece is accepted or denied.

   :bulletred:You must be able to work well with others; this means that you cannot throw your weight around.

   :bulletred:You must be prompt in regard to deadlines and expectations.

   :bulletred:You must be willing to communicate effectively.



If there are any questions, do not hesitate to send an email with your questions to aforementioned account. Pocket Thoughts will continue to grow, and we look forward to developing an excellent team of editors!


On a side note, we also want to mention that Duotrope has recently added Pocket Thoughts to its list of awesome magazines.
