Poetry Submissions Calendar – UPDATE 08/23/2021
Placing yourself at the mercy of the editors, are you?! In 2015 I originally posted a table I use to keep track of when and where to submit poems for publication. Here’s the original post with description:
https://griffinpoetry.com/2015/08/31/editors-mercy-part-2/
. . . . . . .
And here is the most recent update:
……….. Poetry Submissions Table – PDF file ……….
There are currently more than 160 journals and contests listed.
. . . . . . .
Here’s how I use the calendar:
It’s arrayed by month – look down the column to see what journals and sources are open for submissions right now!

Each row includes the web address – be sure to check before you submit, because requirements may have changed since I last updated!
The row also includes other information such as:
Is this an online publication only?
Should your submission be a single document?
What format files do they accept?
There are more instructions on the table itself. Feel free to print it out. And I would really appreciate it if you notify me of any errors or suggested changes!
In particular, if you have journals you’d like me to add to the table please do send me the details, especially the web address!
I will try to post an updated table several times a year and whenever I have made significant additions and corrections to the table.
Enjoy!
And if you find this useful or discover errors please reach me at comments@griffinpoetry.com

I forgot to add that the Antioch Review is on a pause and has been for some time. I think the college is in financial difficulty, and of course COVID has something to do with it. I meant to send this with the earlier email.

Hi and happy new year–Thanks again for the Submissions Calendar. FYI, I just went to the Bitter Oleander web site. It says,
“With our Autumn 2021 issue of The Bitter Oleander (Volume 27, Number 2) being our final one, we will still continue to publish books of poetry with our primary interest in translated works. An open reading period will be available between 09/01/2021 and 03/31/2022 at which time a representative sampling of poems (8) from single author manuscripts translated into English from any language may be submitted.”
