Getting Published/Poetry Markets

A Note On Submitting Work For Publication To E-Zines, Printed Zines, Chapbooks, E-Chabooks, Broadsides, Books/Collections and E-Books of Poetry (and the markets in general)

***************************************
Welcome to the world of literary small press and e-zine publications.

This is for those who wish to branch out and see their work in print whether online or in traditional paper zines. This list will include both on line e-zines and also paper published ones. In the world of small presses as well as on the net, things can change overnight- zines cease publication, addresses change, editors change, sometimes submission guidelines change, new zines start up, etc. I will do my best to keep it up-dated.

If anyone who contacts or submits to the small presses/e-zines and finds any change of information or extra info on any of these or discovers new or ones that aren't on this list, please e-mail me about it so I can keep this list current.

Also, though we all write for many different reasons, trying to write with the idea of world wide fame and to make any money is not the goal here, if you start writing with that as your only goal or reason for writing, than you are not being true to yourself or poetry in general. Whether one gets published or not, we write because we must. While there is nothing wrong with getting paid or gaining popularity/recognition, these should not be your only reasons for writing. It is the passion to write that matters. It is a great feeling to get that first acceptance (and actually every one after) and even better when you see your name and poetry in print. This can bolster your confidence, vindicate your belief in your work and justify the time and effort put into writing, it can give great personal satisfaction on many levels. And it is good to build up some writing credits/publication history and also become somewhat established and known(build a reputation) in the e-zine and paper published literary world of both the small presses and hopefully the bigger more famous publications. And it always means something special when you can touch the hearts and minds of others through your poetry. But when it all comes down to it, the main and greatest thing, whether you submit for publication or not, whether you are ever published or not, is a secondary reason for writing , no, the most important thing will always be that you have the passion for writing burning deep and true inside you above anything else. Passion.

Okay, a little info on the markets in general. Ideally the top markets (like POETRY MAGAZINE, THE NEW YORKER, etc.) are desired magazines to break into-these are high prestige and often well paying magazines. However competition is extremely fierce-the sheer volume of submissions the well known markets receive as opposed to how much poetry they actually use/publish is unbelievable. It is not impossible to get into these 'more desirable' markets, but it is very tough. Some of the college/university zines are open to all and these are also very hard to break into sometimes.
Then there are the small presses-both e-zines and conventionally published/printed magazines. These are no less important than the well known magazines and the college ones, some of the small press zines can be prestigious and some may even pay. A lot of times these are 1 or 2 person operations, some run by certain groups or a professionally staffed outfit, the paper published ones can be of varying quality, some are simple cut-and-paste affairs( the accepted work is compiled and glued to paper in a format of some kind then copied on a store or home copier or computer) and some are professionally printed with a nice glossy cover and higher quality paper. The paper published magazines are of all shapes and sizes and varying in the quality and look and also in the poetry they publish. The same is true as far as content and to a degree the appearance of the e-zines/web site zines.

NOTES ON SUBMISSIONS

Okay, though I've been away from the center stage of the poetry small presses the last couple of years, I have been extensively published in numerous zines and journals. I also was the editor/publisher of my own zine from roughly 1994-1999, so I consider myself a veteran of the markets in the small press world, having been on both sides.
The following are things everyone should learn/know about submitting work. This is a rough guide to submitting your poetry for possible publication.

The number one thing is: KNOW THE MARKETS.This is the main key to success. I can't stress this enough (you don't want to send a poem about your grandchild's first ice cream cone to a biker magazine and things like that-some magazines have theme/subject issues, some use only traditional verse, some only free verse, there are many variances as to what each particular publication is looking for and other details). Pick up a copy of THE POET'S MARKET put out each year by Writer's Digest Books. This book contains hundreds of markets with excellent information on what each magazine is looking for in the poetry they accept, contact information, payment(most of the small presses pay in copies of the magazine, or in the case of e-zines the opportunity of being on their site and the exposure and any prestige it may carry), also reply times, editor(s) name(s), for e-zines, whether to send the poems as attachments or in the email body itself,etc. They list both paper published zines and e-zines world wide(there may be other guides in other countries, but in the U.S Poet's Market is the bible for poets-from the beginner to the poet laureates). The best way to learn the markets is to study them or check them out. For the e-zines, go to their sites and see what kind of work they have displayed, for the paper zines, sample copies can usually be purchased. For both this gives you the opportunity to not only check out the publication and learn more details about it, but also allows you to read some of the work/poets in the small press world. Most sites and paper zines have submission guidelines in their content, if not, then a request for submission guidelines from the editor is advised.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES. These are vital. They will tell you what type of poetry that editor/publication is seeking, how many poems to submit at one time, response time to submissions, payment information, when or if they are accepting submissions, etc. Adhere to the guidelines. Each editor/zine is different. If a zine doesn't state how many poems to submit at once, 4-6 is a general rule. You don't want to send only 1 or 2, but you don't want to send a couple hundred. Five poems gives the editor a good idea and variety of your work to consider.
If submitting to a paper printed zine, always send a self addressed stamped envelope(S.A.S.E.) with sufficient return postage to cover the return of your work and the editor's response. When submitting to magazines in other countries, send the addressed envelope along with enough I.R.C.'s(International Reply Coupons) for the return.
Usually the guidelines will state a response time. Be forewarned; response time can be months, publication of the piece may be a year away. Most zines have a large backlog of submissions. Be patient. If an editor hasn't responded in the time stated in their guidelines (or if no response time is given, 3 months is a reasonable wait), then send a breif curteous inquiry as to the status of your submission. Don't hound an editor, if anything it will prejudice him/her against your work no matter how good it is. Remember, a lot of these zines are small operations, many done in addition to the editor's 'real' job or other projects. Again, patience(to a reasonable extent) is the must here.
When submitting, send a cover letter of some sort. This should be breif. Try to address it to the specific editor's name, if the editor's name is not known than 'Dear Editor', is okay to use. State that you are submitting your work for publication consideration and also some breif biographical information (don't go into your life story) and a list of writing credits (this is usualy the listing of any zine publications, contests or awards won, etc. Again if you have been extensively published, only mention the more prestigious credits. If you are just starting out, you can either state that of just skip listing the writing credits until you do acquire some. Always thank the editor for his/her time. If you would like more specific info on cover letters, feel free to contact me.

Be prepared for rejection. If you are too sensitive about rejection, you may want to hold off until it won't bother you so much. A rejection is not a reflection on you as a person, and not always a statement about your work. There are many reasons for rejection: the zine/editor may have too much of a backlog, he may be having a bad day, the material may not be what the zine is seeking, and a thousand other reasons. Sometimes the rejection may include mention of why it was rejected, more often due to time and the immense amount of submissions, most zines use a form rejection-a standard generic decline of your work. Sometimes an editor may ask for changes in a piece. This is up to you. See if the editor has a legitimate point. If the change makes the piece better and you agree with it, make the change. However, if you think the editor is full of it and the request for revising the piece unwarranted, then stand firm and decline to make the change. But always listen with an open mind. Your words are not sacred and set in stone, you must become your own editor as a writer, which means to be open to change, at the same time, don't change something you think is fine just to get published or to please an editor. You will eventually realize when to revise something to make it stronger and when to refuse because you believe in the piece as it is. Every editor has different likes and preferences. And these are only the opinions of one zine or person. As you grow as a writer or become better at revising, your work will reflect this and the rejections will become fewer and the acceptances more. Bottom line: Never take a rejection personally. And don't get discouraged. Try again elsewhere. persevere-don't give up. One must believe in themself and their work.

Simultaneous submissions or previously published poems. Some zines will accept 'simultaneous submissions'(sending the same poem out at the same time to a few different publications) and previously published work(exactly that-something that has already been published elsewhere), many will not. If you do send out simultaneous submissions, if the piece is accepted by one, then the other editors should be contacted and informed.

Most zines/editors do not like or accept rhyming work. While popular on many of the less discriminating post anything sites, most editors will not touch it. There are always exceptions however, some zines use only rhyme or traditional pieces. If you are going to write/submit rhyming work that it had better be exceptional. Rhyme is considered the basic ameteur's starting point by many writers/poets/editors, and most rhymes are so cliched. If you can write traditional forms/rhyming work well, than give it a try. But be fresh and original, most rhyming stuff has been done to death. Again, there are always exceptions.

Send only your best work. Be professional. While waiting to hear back on a submission, don't stop everything else, keep writing, check out new markets, etc.

THE POETRY MARKETS

These are both e-zines and paper published zines. I will try to provide website addresses when available, if not listed and only a regular postal address is given, this means that it is a paper zine that you have to use the postal system when submitting (that or I don't have the web address yet!). Some paper published zines will take email submissions, just as some e-zines will accept regular mail submissions. This list will include zines in many different areas/countries.Good luck!

THE POETRY MARKETS (E-Zines And Printed Zines)

(Note: Be sure to read the previous post before submitting)
_______________________________

This is a partial listing of both e-zines and paper published zines. I will try to provide website addresses when available, if there is no website listed and only a regular postal address is given, this means that it is a paper zine that you have to use the postal system(snail mail) when submitting (that or I don't have the web address yet!). Some paper published zines will take email submissions, just as some e-zines will accept regular mail submissions. Some accept both emails and regular mail.

Bear in mind these publications all differ greatly in what they will accept, they range from zines who only accept established authors or absolutely top of the line work to zines who accept less established(newcomers) poets- so submit accordingly. Try the elite zines, but more realistically get established in the lesser known, more open zines (check the submission guidelines and some of the poetry they have published to decide which magazines/e-zines your work would have a better chance of being accepted in, you can always work your way up).

Again, be sure to check out guidelines before submitting (some magazines only read submissions only during certain parts of the year, some have backlogs and aren't accepting poems at this time (but most say when they will be open to submissions again), some have specific types of poetry they publish, some have theme issues, etc.)! This list will include zines in many different areas/countries and different formats and covers an extensive variety in the types/styles/forms/subjects of poems they are seeking to publish (check the guidelines and sites for more specific information). Some of these pay in contributor's copies, some actually pay cash and some offer only the prestige of getting published (which at least helps build up one's writing credits).

Getting Published/Poetry Markets Part III:

Poetry Books/E-Books
(A list of publishers/printers of poetry books/collections (and some related information)
***************************************

There are various types of publishers and ways to go about publishing- there is commercial publishing, vanity/self-publishing, subsidy publishing, e-publishing, print on demand publishing. You can find the definitions of these on the internet and in a later post I will try to go into more detailed definitions of these various types of publishing. Though it is okay to attempt to go straight to getting a book/collection of poetry published, it is advisable to first start out getting published in the zines and maybe a chapbook or two.

http://www.beatitudepress.com/Mailer.html
Beatitude Press is a small Bay Area book publisher with a rich tradition of publishing original poetry. Founded in 1975 by famous San Francisco poet Bob Kauffman, Beatitude has always been supportive of all forms of contemporary poetry, including experimental poetry, â??beat poetry,â?? â??jazz poetry,â?? surrealistic poetry, and more traditional forms. In many ways, â??Beat Pressâ?? combines the best features of self publishing and commercial publishing, with an emphasis on providing service with a personal touch.

The authors we have published include Jack Hirschman (the current San Francisco poet laureate), Neeli Cherkovski, Marsha Campbell, H. D. Moe, Margaret Irvin, and Sterling Bunnellâ??plus many others. Each writer has had a unique voice; and, by publishing them, Beatitude Press has contributed to the diversity of American literature.

Recently, we have taken the important step of going online. We are expanding our reach beyond the Bay Area, and are currently seeking authors of fiction (including science fiction), non-fiction, children's books, memoirs, and academic works, as well as poetry, to publish. If you are a writer interested in publishing your work for the first time, you are probably looking for a publisher that will care as much about your work as you do. Writing is a serious art, and so is publishing. Come to Beatitude Press, where helping authors is our passion.

We invite you to submit your manuscript for our prompt consideration. We accept submissions either by mail or electronically. Acceptable electronic formats include MS Word, WordPerfect, WordPro (including AmiPro), and AppleWorks (including ClarisWorks). It is also possible, though not preferable, for us to handle submissions in pdf and .txt formats. Our mailing address is:

www.e-booktime.compublishing@e-booktime.com

Thank you for your interest in our publishing services. We encourage you
to save this email and then shop around to see what is offered by other publishers. We are confident you will
come back to E-BookTime as the best publisher for you. What Does It
Cost? â?? Letâ??s get right to the first thing on most peopleâ??s mind, the cost.
It only costs $395.00 to publish a paperback if you do not want any of our
optional services. It costs only $695.00 to publish both paperback and hardcover
editions. There are no additional charges throughout the publishing process except
for the entirely optional additional services we offer for those who want them.
Assignment of ISBN and print of bar code on the cover is included. You will also
receive five free copies of your published book. Royalties â?? We pay excellent royalty
rates and we pay monthly. For wholesale sales made by other retailers we pay you
when the sale is reported to us instead of waiting to receive the payment which may
take months. We pay you: 30% for paperback sales from our store (direct sales)
15% for paperback sales by other retailers (wholesale sales) 25% for hardcover sales
from our store (direct sales)10% for hardcover sales by other retailers (wholesale sales)
Author Discount - Special discount prices for sales to authors for use in promotional events
or personal sales programs. Using a 108-150 page paperback as an example, the minimum
retail price would be $10.95 and the author discount price would be $7.66 per copy.
Covers - You can use one of our cover templates, supply your own finished cover image, or
we can do quite a lot of custom cover work (free) but we donâ??t do creative graphic art. That
means you could provide us a jpg image to use for the background of the front, back and
spine of the cover, ask for text effects for the title and other text, etc. You canâ??t tell us verbally
to create artwork in the sense of drawing things but we can do pretty much anything else to
customize covers to your desire. Author Rights - You retain full rights to the book we publish.
We acquire no right of ownership to the work or control over its copyright, distribution, or sale.
You have the right to directly sell the published book and to enter into other publication and sales
agreements without restriction. Distribution - Our paperback and hardcover books are sold through
our internet store and major internet retailers such as Amazon, Barnes and Noble, BooksaMillion,
and Borders. Thanks for your interest in our publishing service. I hope you decide to allow us to publish
your work. Please feel free to email me at publishing@e-booktime.com if you have any questions.

A final note:

This is just some stuff I thought might benefit those serious about getting their work published, stuff I learned the hard way. Sure, anyone can go to a number of places and spend a few hundred dollars or more to get a book of their poetry published, but it is better (not to mention more challenging and informative) to start out in the small press magazines and e-zines (and a lot cheaper!) and tells one more about their talent/skill/etc as a poet/writer.

When I first started submitting my work in 1989, I sent truly lame and awful poems to the 'high prestige' magazines like The New Yorker, Poetry, The Paris Review, The Atlantic and other 'top' name magazines. Needless to say I gathered enough rejection slips to wallpaper my living room! I was naive and had no clue as to how to go about submitting my work and no knowledge of the poetry markets in general. So I learned by trial and much error. The things I've stated in the above posts are not just my opinions, but some of the basic facts I learned on my way to becoming a popular and extensively published poet in the small press literary magazines (mainly throughout the 1990's) and as the editor/publisher of my own modest literary magazine.

This poetry topic/thread is meant to offer some help (hopefully) to those on this site who are serious about getting published but aren't sure where to begin. Also to help them avoid the mistakes I made starting out and offer a little bit of guidance and information gleaned from experience. Basically to impart some knowledge I wish I had known when I was first trying to get published.

I'd like any other members who have been published whether in the e-zines, small presses or in book form to add their advice and experiences to this posting also. It'd definitely be beneficial to have some other points of view and their experiences to share with those with less or no dealings with the publishing world.

If this is your first attempt at trying to get published, all I can really add is to just persevere, keep trying and never give up (be prepared for editor's criticism and probably a few rejection slips- but believe in yourself and your work). It will pay off eventually. You may not get rich, but it will be helpful to have some publishing credentials behind you, and who knows where you can go from there? So if you feel you are ready, give it a shot. Best of luck to you.

Peace, poetry & Power,

Gary Jurechka
