Submissions windows that are open right now - July 2019

Here are just some of the submission windows for poetry that are currently open. I'd say more about them, but hey, we're all busy, so here's the info:

Magazines:

• BlueHouse Journal - it's brand new and it's open for subs until 1st August.
• The Poetry Village - they're lovely people, because they're publishing one of my poems soon. Two poems a week online, and it's so worth following.
• Panoply - open until 28th July, US based.
• Southlight - based in the South of Scotland.
• Obsessed with Pipework - four issues a year, but submissions are always open.

Anthologies

• Animal Heart Press has open submission windows for two anthologies, one with poetry from womxn, and one for poetry from Nigerian poets. Windows close on 1st August.
• Submissions for the I'll Show You Mine Chapbook competition close on 10th July, so hurry up for that one. Sex writing only.

Free competitions:

• University of Hertfordshire single poem prize

If you've got a pamphlet ready to go you could try:

• Red Squirrel Press (there's a queue)

Also check out Josie Alford's brilliant video on How to Get Your Poetry Published, and indeed her YouTube channel generally.

If you're submitting stuff, remember to get familiar with what the potential publisher likes, and what they stand for first, or you might as well just throw your poetry through an actual window and wait for someone else to pick it up.

This post has been written whilst listening to and interrupted by my family getting on with their Sunday morning while I camp out in the kitchen. Next I'm going to make pancakes. Do get in touch if you've got more submission opportunities you'd like folk to know about.
