From the Cuddy Foundation for Veterans website (not affiliated with MWSA):

Our foundation accepts original submissions from veterans, active duty personnel, and anyone who wishes to help us develop this creative outlet.

Purchases of our journals will directly benefit the missions of The Cuddy Family Foundation for Veterans! Moving forward, we will try to release poetry and short story journals twice a year.

Here are the submission deadlines for future journals:

August 30, 2023 - Volume Six

February 29, 2024 - Volume Seven

August 30, 2024 - Volume Eight

Guidelines

Submissions should be sent in the body of an email to this address: info@tcfffv.org

No attachments, please.

While we have not established a line or word count limit for submissions, please use discretion as we anticipate a large volume of entries for each quarterly edition.

All submissions should be original works that have not been previously published.

Please include your full name, mailing address, phone number, branch of service (if applicable), and any relevant social media or author links in the email with your poem(s). Poets are welcome to submit more than one poem per submission period.

Many thanks to the organizations and individuals that have helped to spread the word about our poetry and short story journals to veterans and others!
