Poetry Submissions Calendar – UPDATE JANUARY, 2023
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. Not to say one thrives on rejection, but the possibility of the occassional favorable comment from an editor, not to mention an acceptance, do nourish one’s motivation.
Here is the most recent update:
……….. Poetry Submissions Calendar – PDF file ……….
Since my last posted update in August, 2022, I’ve added another 20+ entries and corrected dozens, including sites no longer accepting submissions. There are currently 278 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 only publication ?
Do they accept simultaneous submissions?
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 to which you’ve enjoyed submitting I can add them to the table! Please send me the details, especially the web address!
I will try to post an updated table two or three times a year and whenever I have made significant additions and corrections to the table. And . . . scroll all the way to the end of the document for extra tidbits, awards for most rapid response, and a new list of sites accepting art and photo submissions.
Here’s the original post from 2015 with a little musing about rejection:
