Submit your poems!

  • Please note that Antipoetry is an online magazine and any submission accepted will be published online rather than in print. 
  • Read our Home page and About Us page to get a feel for the types of issues we are trying to create and the poems we hope to publish.
  • If you feel like your work is on the fence, send it anyway. We're all about the in-between.
  • Antipoetry is happy to consider 1-5 original, previously unpublished poems in the body of an email. Send it to antipoetrysubs@gmail.com. 
  • Please bold the title of each poem in your submission
  • If we pass on your poems, please wait one month from the time you hear back from us before submitting again. 
  • We welcome simultaneous submissions, but not multiple submissions.​
  • In the subject line of your email, please tell us your favorite food. This is how we'll know you read the guidelines. ;) 
  • If your poem is accepted elsewhere, please let us know as soon as you can by replying to your original email with a quick update. 
  • If you are a writer we've previously published, please wait one year before submitting again. 
  • Plagiarism, misogyny, racism, classism, or general unkindness does not sit well with us. While our poems are all about the juxtaposition of the ugly and the lovely, our hearts are all about love and light. Keep that in mind. We reserve the right to pull poems/authors from the site at any time for any reason, but we would rather not have to, - so lead with your heart, please. 
  • By submitting to Antipoetry, you agree to give us First Electronic Rights and Non-exclusive Archival Rights. All other rights remain with the author. If you re-publish your work elsewhere, like in a book or anthology, we ask that you list Antipoetry as the first publisher.  
  • If you don't hear back from us within three months, feel free to reply to your original email to remind us. 
  • Please note that we are not a paying market at this time (because we don't make money from this), but hope to be a paying market one day in the future. 
  • Sound good? Fire off that email! Antipoetrysubs@gmail.com
