  • Length:  50-100 pages 
  • No more than 30% of the poems included in submission should be previously published in a previous book by the author.
  • WORD or RTF format--NO PDFs for book submissions.
  • Word or page count is specific to genre. 
  • Reading periods may vary, and are subject to closing unannounced if we meet our quota for a specific genre. Submittable will only accept submissions when we are open for them.
  • Distribution prevents us from considering overseas submissions. We are also not interested in translations.
  • We will sometimes offer feedback, but authors should not expect it. 
  • Author’s Name and PHYSICAL address must appear on submitted work. We will not read a submission without both nor will we refund reading fee.
