Magazines
This list is compiled from the current, "live" magazines stocked at The Poetry Library. This list is aimed for both readers of poetry and writers of poetry, looking to submit their work. In the latter case, it is recommended that you take a look at the magazine that you are considering submitting your work to. You can do this in the following ways:
- Inspecting the latest issue of the publication, available from the publisher
- Viewing many of the magazines free of charge at The Poetry Library Magazines site (www.poetrymagazines.org.uk)
Presentation of your poems is of major importance, and it is advised that you spend some time doing this. The following points, although not true for every magazine, are intended as general guidelines you should check before submitting your work:
- Make sure that your poems are typewritten on a separate sheet and that they look clean and presentable
- Do not send more than six poems unless the publication asks you to do this
- Include a short and polite covering letter to the editor/s
- Always be sure to send a stamped addressed envelope with your poems, for the editor/s to make their reply
- Always keep your own copies of poems in case the ones you send go missing
- It is usual to have to wait for a period of time to get a response. Depending on the magazine, the Editor/s may be inundated with submissions and need time to get through this
- It is unlikely that you will be paid in money for having your poems published, but it is usual to at least receive a free copy of the magazine. It is not usual to have to pay yourself to have your work published
Finally, do not be put off by rejections. This is the plight of every writer and you should remember that every established poet has had their work rejected at some point in their career. If you follow these guidelines, continue to read as much poetry as possible and concentrate on improving your work as you go along, then you have a good chance of succeeding!
