Issue 7: Apple, Seeds & Sapphire
Call for submissions

Call for submissions : issue 7
We are open for submission for issue seven : Apple, Seeds & Sapphire
As the Earth turns colder but our harvest boutiful, we know that Autumn is upon us. Winter is not quite here yet, but we must prepare for its inevitable arrival. Perhaps you shall find yourself bitting hard into an apple, this red or green fruit with seeds like stars. But be careful not to ingest too much cyanide, for even the tiniest seeds can lead to unexpected growth. As the nights get longer, sapphire coloured skies grace us with light to guide our way into the night.

Payment:
As you may know, Atropos is a Magazine attached to E.Nath.Y Press, a small and independent Press, and is entirely self-funded. Thanks to the funds we have collected with the sales of Cycle One, as well as donations from readers who kindly wished to support Atropos, we are now able to pay a small amount per poem and artwork selected.
We will be able to pay 5 Euros per poem / artwork published going forward! (Whohoo!)
This was not possible for Cycle One, but we are very excited to be able to do so going forward.
We hope the amount will increase with time, but this is what we are able to do now, and it has been chosen with research and comparison with other small & indepently run magazines.
A note on copyright: By sending your work to Atropos you are giving us permission to edit, publish and gain profit from your work to our standards. This may include printing and selling bodies of work with your poem included. You will always be notified of the use of your work in printed editions. You will always own the intellectual property of your poem and can publish it in any way you see fit. However, if you would like to use Atropos’s layout and font to publish this work, please let us know beforehand by emailing us. This is because we own the poem in this format, with these images attached. If you have any queries over this, please contact us at atropos.poetrymagazine@gmail.com
