Who We Publish
We want to publish poets who are engaged in the writing community, including participating in poetry readings, workshops, and writers groups. The poets we are looking for are those who are avid readers (and purchasers) of contemporary poetry. We give preference to poets who are actively submitting their work to journals, magazines and contests, and who take part at writer's conferences/festivals-as an organizer, instructor or participant. Previous publications and/or recognitions can be an indicator of readiness for a book length collection. As a "small press," it's important that we publish poets who are putting themselves and their work out there. We have found that book-length poetry collections are most successful in reaching an appreciative audience when the poet takes an active role in marketing his/her book.
Manuscript Guidelines for General Submissions
· General submissions are accepted year-round.
· No reading fees for general submissions.
· Book-length poetry manuscripts only.
· Simultaneous submissions accepted, provided we are immediately informed if the manuscript is accepted elsewhere.
· Original collection of 50 to 80 pages of poetry, excluding cover page, contents, acknowledgments, etc.
· Single sided, single spaced. We prefer no more than one poem per page. Numbered pages. Leave off the poet's name.
· Two title pages: one with name, address, and phone number and one with title only.
· No translations, unless the translations are of your own poems.
· Electronic files are accepted via the online submission manager (below). Use the title of your collection for the file name. We accept .doc, .rtf, or .pdf file format.
· We prefer electronic submissions but will consider hard copy submissions by mail with the stipulation that, should the author's work be chosen for publication, an electronic version (.doc or .rtf) must be prepared in a timely manner and at the poet's expense.
· Please include a cover letter with poetry publication/recognition highlights and something intriguing about your life story or ongoing pursuits. We would like to develop a connection with the poet as well as the poetry. Please include the collection title in the cover letter.
· If hard copy, bound by a single clip: no folders or notebooks, please
