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 compatible
with 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
Flash Fiction and Prose
The Poetry Warrior accepts submissions for flash
fiction/nonfiction pieces.
Prose pieces must be under 1000 words to be
considered for publication. We are open to
considering genre-defying or experimental pieces.
* We will accept simultaneous submissions, however
we ask that you let us know of these conditions, and
that you notify us if the piece has been accepted
elsewhere, as soon as you find out.
