I assume the authors retain rights to the poems, that is, they only grant non-exclusive rights to use the poems should the poems be accepted. Is that true? Are previously published poems acceptable?

Hello Frank,
Of course the rights on the poems are with the poet! I ask the poets to send me an email with the poem, a picture and a link to a social media account or website of the poet and link them when I publish the poems.
Previously published poems are accepted, of course, provided they have the Halloween theme.

Hello Jean, thank you for the opportunity. I have just sent my poem… I may have sent it twice after I typed the address incorrectly. *whispers* my computer maybe Infested with spooks and goblins, well that’s my excuse and I am sticking to it … probably with ectoplasmic strength!
