Writer's Guidelines

Peeks & Valleys is a quarterly magazine published in November, February, May and August.  We seek quality writing -- traditional character driven literature.  We want the characters to be palpable, as well as entertaining, whether or not they are likeable. Poetry should be concrete and touch our senses -- don't leave us guessing.  Our goal is to encourage new writers and to provide a venue for accomplished writers as well.
