ETCHINGS is a quality publication with an international focus, dedicated to showcasing new work by emerging and established writers and artists.

Etchings is an Australian journal and...well...pretty much everything that needs to be said is already said in its guidelines :)
We accept submissions of all styles of literary fiction, poetry, personal & creative essays, photography, and art.

All unsolicited submissions must be unpublished.

We also accept electronic submissions, particularly from overseas contributors. Format: RTF for writing, and 300 dpi for images (JPG preferred).

All accepted work will need to be submitted in electronic format: RTF or PDF for writing, and 300 dpi for images (JPG preferred).

Please limit submissions to three prose pieces (max 5000 words per piece), or three images. Poetry submissions should include at least three, but no more than six poems.

Contributors are paid AU$75 and receive one copy of the issue they appear in. (For poetry, this fee covers three to five pages of poems; a fee of AU$35 is paid for poems up to two pages.) Please note: Australian contributors are paid by cheque. International contributors are paid via PayPal secure payment services.

Email electronic submissions to: etchings@ilurapress.com
Oh yea, Etchings publishes themed issues, so be sure you are submitting the right kind of work. However, the site says that if it doesn't match the current issue, it'll be saved for the next issue's consideration.
The themes are intended as starting points only, and they can be interpreted in many different ways.
 Good Luck :)

Right...one more thing: For examples, there are sample pages from the current and back issues available on the site!

The publisher of Etchings, Ilura Press can be found on twitter and facebook

Dreams & Nightmares - Poetry - Flash Fiction - Artwork

Dreams and Nightmares
http://dreamsandnightmaresmagazine.com/

My kind of publication! Dreams and Nightmares (DN) publishes mostly poetry of the speculative type (fantasy and science fiction).

Welcome to the website for Dreams and Nightmares magazine. DN is a print magazine of science fiction and fantasy poetry. DN was founded in January of 1986.

The magazine accepts poetry and short (flash) fiction as well as some artwork. Of course the editor/publisher prefers email submissions :) I do believe he will pay by paypal as well if requested. Also, this happens to be one of those glorious "pays on acceptance" markets (as opposed to "pays on publication")

Poetry & Fiction
Maximum length for poetry or fiction is 2 single-spaced typed pages, but I prefer less than one page. I prefer e-submissions in the body of the message.
I print 15-20 poems per issue. Buying 1st N.Am. serial rights unless state otherwise. Payment is $12 on acceptance + 2 contributor's copies.
Fewer than 5% of submissions are accepted. Response time is commonly 4-8 weeks.

Artwork
Artwork should be line drawings; no half-tones. Good photocopies OK, but I prefer to receive JPEG's as e-mail attachments. Art should be no larger than 4 1/2 by 7 1/2 inches, but I can reduce it. Payment $12 on acceptance plus 2 copies.

For samples of artwork, the site has a gallery section with covers from back issues: http://dreamsandnightmaresmagazine.com/gallery.htm

David (the editor/publisher) also keeps a regular blog with site updates, announcements and examples of his own work - it looks like he posts a daily haiku :) http://dreamsandnightmaresmagazine.blogspot.com/

You can also find him on Twitter and...lot's of other places.
