Internet is medium, which is open to abuse – some people might re-publish your work and claim it to be theirs. There is no easy way to solve this problem. If the plagiarism is published on P&Q you can send us complaint form (link can be found at the bottom of a poem) and we will review your case and remove plagiarism, if your evidence is strong enough.

I am not a book publisher, agent, editor, or even published author. I do not have connections or insights for you concerning where to get your piece published. Please do not submit it to me. There are many sites on the web that provide helpful information about everything from manuscript preparation to submission. Some of the best sites include The Writer Magazine, Locus Magazine, and the Writing Resources website.

You can ask for it, usually by a request for permission accompanied by a permission form to the copyright owner. If you know who the copyright owner is, you may contact the owner directly, otherwise, some work will be required to track down the copyright owner.

Only on your say so. I have written many poems that are never published. If you do not give permission then the poem will not be published. Guaranteed.

There are exceptions to the reviewing process that we follow. If your article is time- sensitive and is well written, it will find its way on the Sulekha homepage quicker.

We usually do not edit poems except for minor corrections which include spell checks. We do not tamper with the poet's style or content. Poetic justice prevails on Sulekha!

quot;Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
