Women's poetry
We publish women's poetry of various styles and content. Rhymed, free verse, prose poetry - we love it all as long as it's done well. Write the poem that only you can write!
We want to share the stories you’ve been told not to tell.
We publish poetry, non-fiction, and hybrid work by people who identify as or alongside female/trans/non-binary, and who write about existing in a world that tells you your stories are not worthy of art. We believe that your stories are worthy, and we believe in the importance of telling them.
We’re looking for work that is raw and real and good. Tell us the stories you worry aren’t cool enough to be literature. The ones someone in workshop called “too confessional.” The ones that show us what it means to live in your body and in this world. We want to weep with you and cheer for you and rage with you. We know that deeply personal work can be and is art of the highest form, and we’re excited that you want to share yours with us.
We are a non-institutional aggregator of mediocre literature. We aren't as off the wall as we are on the floor. While our editors continue their efforts to undermine each other, we're on a hunt for beavers eager to usurp the traps and give the literary world a bathetic run for its money.
If you run away, let the salt pour.
Be crass if you think we can't handle your genius.
If you send a fish sandwich with your hard copy submission, you will be moved to the top of the pile. However, doing so does not guarantee publication.
Poets Reading the News is a digital platform that publishes original poetry about current events. We believe in the power of poetry to transform the world and how we see each other. We call it journalism in verse.
We are, at heart, a newspaper – the revelation being that our copy is pure verse, produced by a diverse staff of poet-journalists from around the world, spanning disciplines, views, and geographies. What it comes down to is gripping writing about the world around us and in us.
Poets Reading the News publishes unsolicited and original poetry and prose about current events. Whenever possible, include links to news stories regarding the topic of your work. If you are integrating quotes or data into your writing, you must provide links to your sources.
We encourage writers of all backgrounds to submit their writing, especially poets of color, women poets, LGBTQI+ poets, and poets from countries and regions near and far.
To get more information and submit your writing, please visit our website. Thank you for your interest. We look forward to reading your poetry!
Nōd Magazine is the sole creative writing publication at the University of Calgary. The journal is a creative publication emerging out of an academic environment. The magazine is run by wayward undergraduates who cannot be subdued by essays. We publish innovative work intersecting between the literary and visual arts communities, and seek work that blurs the boundaries of convention.
Push against the borders between genres, mediums, and ideas. Defamiliarize yourself.
Foundlings Magazine presents a stimulating hash of poetry and images. While we accept all types, styles, and subgenres of poetry, each magazine contains and places some emphasis on "found" poetry and images.
We seek to publish - in paper and ink - the best writing. We take our ethic and aesthetic from the Canon Law of the Roman Catholic Church. Not all of it; just Canon 1115, which closes with the provoking observation that "Foundlings are presumed to be legitimate until the contrary is proved."
We also take direction from Coco Chanel, who observed that “style is all that endures.”
Magic exists all around us. We all possess magical power, creative power. All we need to do is look inside ourselves and believe in our own truth. Mystic Illuminations is the voice of mystics and creators who dare to see beyond the scope of the mundane. The literature cultivated in this literary journal will make you think as you journey there and back again.
What we are looking for in work to include in our journal is exceptional quality writing and a touch of magic, which can mean a lot of different things. So, use your imagination and send us your best work.
Deep Overstock is the International Booksellers' Journal. Our third issue is all about paranormal romance. We'd love to read short stories under 3000, flash fiction, mircofiction and poetry especially. We'd also love art, sculpture, spells, comics--any medium. Now go on, supernaturally seduce us!
Our prose editors are Mickey Collins and Robert Eversmann. Our poetry editor is Ariel Kusby. And our art editor is Piers Rippey. In your bio, please include any bookselling experience you might have had in the past. Mention if you worked at a library or a bookstore or a store that sold books. Or please tell us simply why you love bookstores, what bookstores mean to you, what significant experience you've had in a bookstore or with a bookseller.
