View Article  Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the answers to some Frequently Asked Questions about Ink Sweat & Tears...

Q.  Does it cost anything to submit a poem or piece of prose to IS&T?
A.  No, absolutely free, no catches - and contributors retain full copyright. All we insist on is that submissions are sent via email. Check out our Submissions Guidelines for full details.

Q.  Do contributors receive any payment?
A.  Fraid not - there again we're not making any money out of this site either at the moment, so we're all in the same boat. Our business model (which we also used with another newsletter we publish) is to first go with a gut reaction and to get the content right. We worry about the money later. The key is to enjoy the experience - everything else is just potatoes.

Q.  Who is the editor?
A.  Please allow me to introduce myself... My name is Charles Christian and I'm a long time writer and journalist - and more recently newsletter/magazine editor and publisher. But you won't have heard of me unless you are involved in the arcane world of legal technology (hence my email address) and the black art of helping lawyers to earn even more money through the use of computers. More recently I've been attending creative writing courses at UEA and had a number of poems and short stories published. The purpose of Ink Sweat & Tears is to fill what I believe is a gap in the market, namely the border-zone between poetry and prose - call it prose poetry and poetic prose if you like - in the digital age - and that means we are also interested in e-poetry.

Q.  Is there any way of providing feedback on the pieces published on IS&T?
A.  Yes, because the site is based on blog technology, we can accept comments - just click on the link appearing below each item posted on the site. Comments can be accredited or anonymous BUT because of the problem of spam and junk mail we do moderate such comments. We don't mind criticism but we don't want to waste anyone's time with postings plugging dubious shares and penis extensions.

Q.  What else can blog technology offer?
A.  Another advantage of a blog is that you can subscribe to a live feed - this means that instead of visiting the site to see if there are any new postings, you can just subscribe to the RSS feed and receive the updates directly to your web browser. And it doesn't cost anything.
