:: 3-4 pieces per submission (from free verse to formal, lyric essay, flash forms, sequences of fragments, lyric drama, and on-we're thrilled to read poems that expand the concept of what a poem can be) We do not claim to know your work better than you or anyone else, but this option does help us continue to fund our journal’s cost of operations. Please note that we can only offer our own perspective, and we cannot comment on every poem in your submission.

Otherwise editors will select one poem for their focus.įor context, our feedback letters are written independently of our final decision on your submission, and these comments do not necessarily reflect the views of our full team. If you’d like comments regarding a specific facet of your work or on a particular poem, please indicate so in your cover letter. If you’d like feedback on your submission, you can select this option to receive up to a half page of feedback from one of our three feedback editors. :: If you are a previous contributor, please wait at least one year after publication before submitting again. Additionally, if a submitted poem quotes lines from another poet, we ask that the source text be properly attributed as an endnote. :: We request that poets writing “after” poems not only attribute the name of the poet they are responding to, but the title of the original poem as well. If a poem needs to be withdrawn for any reason, use the message tab in Submittable rather than withdraw the entire submission. Please let us know if a poem submitted is no longer available by using the message tab in Submittable. :: We cannot accommodate revisions to work that has been submitted for consideration. Contest winners are published in our December Solstice issue. For regular submissions, please wait 6 months after your submission has been received to query in regards to its status via Submittable or email. Our average response time is 1 week to 3 months, but may take longer. :: We accept general submissions through Submittable. :: We ask for first rights, and we also ask that any future publications (congratulations!) of your accepted poems are acknowledged back to Tinderbox Poetry Journal. This includes work that has been revised from a previously published poem. :: We do not accept previously published work. Poems can be longer than one page as long as the submissions packet is no longer than eight pages total. One poem per page, up to four poems total. :: While we are a poetry-specific journal, we seek to expand the definition of poetry. We don't have restrictions on form or content, and we are interested in featuring poets at all stages of their career. When we read submissions, we seek poems that give us a little shiver, poems that catch the light and compel us to look closer. :: To get a better sense of our aesthetic, we encourage submitters to read past issues via our archives. We appreciate your support in showcasing the talented poets of our era and are honored to be trusted with your creative work. The BEJ prize winner receives $500 and Majda Gama editor's prize winner receives $500. Two winners are selected, one by the contest judge and another by our poetry editors. This year's judge is Paul Hlava Ceballos. The contest opens August 1st, 2023 and closes August 31st at midnight PST. For $20 we offer feedback on contest submissions. Our yearly contest charges a submission fee of $15. Tip Jar and Feedback Submissions allow us to pay our contributors, sponsor web hosting, offset the cost of submittable and sustain our mission of supporting vital literary community. We also offer a feedback submission for $7. To offset the costs of running our journal we welcome Tip Jar submissions ($3) on a rolling basis. Our 2023 reading period opens March 15th and closes March 31st at midnight, PST. :: We offer fee-free submissions during each reading period with the exception of our contest. The heart of our mission is uplifting new writers, regardless of publication history- we endeavor to be your first paid publication. Past Contributors include Emily Yoon, Carmen Giménez, Cortney Lamar Charleston, Erika Meitner, Diannely Antigua, Maggie Smith, Aria Aber, Rosebud Ben-Oni, Emilia Phillips, Kelli Russell Agodon, Brandon Amico, Angela Voras-Hills, and Rachel Mennies among many wonderful others. We publish two issues per year on or around Summer and Winter Solstice and nominate for Pushcart Prizes, Best New Poets, and Best of the Net. We are a paying market and pay each contributor $15 regardless of number of poems selected. :: Tinderbox Poetry Journal welcomes new and emerging voices.
