Submission Guidelines
Poetry Submissions
All Poetry submissions must adhere to the following guidelines:
* All submissions are to be submitted electronically,via e-mail. Submissions should be sent to the Poetry Editor at thepoetrywarrior@gmail.com. Submissions may be submitted in the body text of the e-mail, or as an attachment. All attachments must be compatiblewith WordPerfect 12, or Microsoft wordpad (NOT Microsoft Word/Office). Please submit ALL poems within a single email.
* Submissions must have the words 'poetry submission' in the subject or else they will be regarded as spam. Poetry may be on any range of topics, and follow any form. There is no limit for length. However, if it is too short, it may not interest us. Too long, it may not hold our attention long enough. Moderation is key here. All submissions must be your original work. Please submit between 2-5 poems at a time.
* We are looking for poems that exhibit strong sentiment, a fresh perspective, are lyrically sound,create strong imagery, and present readers with a strong sense of voice. Poetry can be modeled after a certain movement, or follow the artist's own direction.
* We are NOT looking for overly 'emotional' poems, poems based on trite or cliched topics, poems that exhibit platitudinous sentiments, poems that exhibit a tenuous grasp of basic literary devices, or plagiarized poems.
* We accept unsolicited poems and we are also interested in publishing poetry by talented teens and young adults.
* We will accept simultaneous submissions, however we ask that you let us know of these conditions, and that you notify us if the poem has been accepted elsewhere, as soon as you find out.
* Please allow up to 2 to 4 weeks for a response.
* We reserve the right to edit any submitted poem for spelling errors. (don't worry, we're poets too, and we're not out to butcher your poems. We'll make sure to contact you first if we find the need to make any major changes.) Note: be sure to inform us of any stylistic or intentional misspellings when submitting. Copyright will revert to the author upon publication.
* We reserve the right to refuse to publish any poem, for any reason that we find. We are not required to publish your poem, and our decision is final - arguing will not help your chances of being published in the future. The poet will not be paid for any published poem - this is an independent zine, and we are very poor.
* If your work is accepted, you may be asked to write a short paragraph 'about the poet', or to participate in a non-mandatory interview.
* Your e-mail and information will NOT be given out, under any circumstances
