It is very important when you receive this letter, if you are a featured author, that you verify the spelling of your name (or if you wanted to use a pen name) If you do not tell us of your corrections, we will print the information as in the letter.

What is Rhapsody?
Rhapsody is
a quarterly literary magazine that is a compilation
of poetry, prose, commentary and artwork. We showcase
the talents of nationally selected writers and artists
based on originality and content. Our goal is to
publish a diverse and creative array of works to
promote both the artists and this publication. Rhapsody is
a soapbox of sorts upon which visual and literary
artists express themselves. The artists retain all
rights of the works submitted and authorial anonymity
is preserved throughout the review process. The opinions
and beliefs of the artists are not necessarily a
reflection of our staff.
Our purpose is to stimulate consciousness.
Rhapsody literally means...any ecstatic or extravagantly enthusiastic utterance in writing or speech. The subtext, "Creative Condensation for Literary and Visual Artists" refers to this magazine as a compilation of different artists' work...and like the bio says...
OUR PURPOSE IS TO STIMULATE CONSCIOUSNESS!
We solicit (primarily amateur) writers via the internet & poetry readings. The only requirements to meet are those specified in the Entry Submission Policy and Copyright Information
Usually there are no themes, as we do not wish to limit the writers/artists. However, we do not publish extreme profanity or vulgarity.
You can submit work via e-mail or postal (snail) mail. Be sure to include the correct contact information with your entries, and your "15 minutes of Fame". Entries are not eligible for publishing unless you provide all necessary contact info. (name, address, phone, email) Click HERE for more details...
Your "15 minutes" is 4 lines in the back of the issue you are featured in to claim your city and state, your favorites, what you do when nobody's looking and your email address or website.
