We're looking for poems that are personal yet global, and explore human frailties with compassion and humor. Other areas of very strong interest include: coming of age, self discovery, self empowering, and unique perspectives from men and women about men and women.

Your poetry has a good chance of finding a home with us if you have a theme. We would be honored to accompany you on your journey from there to here.

While we appreciate an occasional love lost or love found poem, we'll pass on collections if there's not enough substance, or if the poems are too similar.

When you submit, please include the poem that will appear first, and if your book is titled after one of the poems, please include that one too.

Please submit 5-8 of your best poems that have been refined, gone over, and stripped of typos. An average chapbook has 20-24 poems.

After reviewing your material, we will either request to see more, or pass. If we pass, we'll let you know what about your poetry didn't resonate with us. If you are interested in rewriting based upon our feedback, you are welcome to resubmit without paying a second reading fee.

We are writers too. Writers who hate getting form letters, and who have vowed never to do that to other writers. And so you will never receive a form letter from us.
