Poetry submissions

Please note that submissions are limited to four poems (file), and should not exceed ten pages. Poems should be submitted in a single file, with poems separated by titles or page breaks. Please include all writer contact info on the first page of the submitted file.

When can I submit to Poetry ? Fill in the title (s) of the work (s) you are submitting.

If you are submitting more than one poem , separate the titles with commas. Simultaneous submissions are welcome, provided that you notify us promptly if a poem has been accepted by another publication. NOTE: If you need to withdraw individual poems from consideration, please click on the title of your submission , click on the Activity tab, and leave a note detailing which poem (s). Submissions are open year-roun always welcome and always free. Despite their growing prevalence in the literary community, we do not believe in submission fees and never will.

Rattle does not accept work that has been previously published , in print or online (we do NOT consider self-publishing to blogs, message boards, or social media as publication with respect to this rule). Featured Poems are published online only and will spotlight a number of poems from new authors each month. We highly encourage emerging authors to submit.

We are thrilled to offer significant payment to our partner poets : $per poem , up to $150. We also accept poetry in translation, and collaborative poems. We accept submissions of book reviews, interviews, and essays on poetics. Poetry submissions may not be a get-rich-quick plan. Anthologies can be a rich source of publication opportunities for poets.

If you’re in the market to submit a book of poems, learn how to submit to small and independent presses! We are committed to diversity and inclusivity and highly encourage submissions from marginalized voices. Established and new poets are encouraged to submit. Experimental poetry is fine, randomness is fine also.

However, we do not want experimental and random just for the sake of calling it such. We prefer a poem that will fit on one page. We are not interested in inspirational poetry or philosophical musings. We publish digitally and pay $per accepted piece. Find out more at volneyroadreview.
