Genres & Theme
Literary Open to all / most themes, including:. Specific themes may vary. Poems on all subjects considered (But see the upcoming general themes column on their guidelines page for quarterly slants. Poems tucking into these ideas will have higher success rates of acceptance). I look for strong imagery, metaphor and poems with a bias for introspection. This doesn't mean that all poems submitted should be written in 1st-person point-of-view, just that they be thoughtful and content rich. I want to see fresh subjects, layered meanings, sophisticated themes, juicy language. Any POV welcome. Rhyming & formal poems must be polished and natural -- free verse has a better chance for acceptance, unless your traditional lyric forms show great maturity of craft.

They are not provided by the publication's editors/staff or by Duotrope's staff. Accuracy We have received 8 reports within the past 12 months, not including 1 pending response (waiting 9 days) and not including 1 ignored report (reports are ignored when the submitter has an unrealistic overall acceptance/rejection ratio). The more responses reported, the more accurate the info. Rejections are often underreported, which skews the statistics in favor of acceptances. Most markets have a lower acceptance rate than indicated here.

Before Submitting
We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close overnight. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Just remember ...

• Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
• Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
• Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
• For novel/collection publishers, it is standard to submit a cover letter, synopsis, and sample instead of the full manuscript.  Do this unless otherwise instructed.
• Include a SASE with all mailed submissions, queries, and requests for guidelines.
• Be professional, patient and persistent.
