Looking for places to submit your work? Every week, we comb through the Poet”s Market and various other sources to highlight three publications, either print or web, that are currently accepting submissions so you don”t have to. These markets are always high quality – the type of publication you”ll be proud to list in your bio – and as often as possible, actually PAY for your poetry. This week”s three publications are:

The Sewanee Review is the oldest continually published literary review in the US. It was begun in 1892 at The University of the South in Sewanee, Tennesee and has never missed an issue in its 113 years of existence. The Sewanee publishes both established and new poets. Poets may submit up to 6 poems at a time. They do not consider simultaneous submissions. For further information on submission guidelines, see the submissions page.

42Opus is an online literary zine that has published some of the foremost contemporary poets as well as unknowns. While they compile their publication into quarterly issues, they actually publish new work on their site weekly – sometimes several times a week. The site is professional and polished, the work is high quality and the publication credit is an excellent one to add to your poet”s bio. You can find out about submission guidelines here.

Poets & Writers magazines doesn”t publish poetry, but it does publish writing ABOUT poetry. If you have words of wisdom to share about getting published, overcoming writers block, forming a writers workshop, what”s hot and what”s not in the world of poetry and publishing, then this is the magazine for you.
