What are the rules for submitting?

1. Must have a rhyme scheme or a rhythm scheme. No blank verse or free verse. If you do feel that blank verse or free verse is the best form for the poem, please send a sentence or two explaining the choice.

2. Send in Microsoft Word or Google Doc form.

3. Any genre, no fees, no word count limit.

5. Rolling Submissions.

6. Acknowledge Distribution Rights on this Substack - You can still sell your story elsewhere but we need to be able to save and publish it here. The goal is to create a library for subscribers.

7. Reprints are ok so long as you still have the rights to distribute.

Anything Else?

Yes! Analytics will be published monthly in terms of subscribers, the number of submissions, and anything else that might be relevant.

There is also the option to sign up for FREE emails. You won’t get the full poem, but you will get information and can follow the project.
