Magazine Submission Review
Ready to submit your poems to magazines, journals or websites? Get feedback on a selection of four to six of them first to make sure they'll stand out to editors and readers.
About this report
A poem is a tricky thing. It can be difficult, once you’ve written it, to step outside the world it creates – to get a reader’s perspective on its logic, its rhythms, its apparent motives. This report – written by a published poet, with editorial experience, a deep knowledge of the industry and a passion for the craft of writing poetry – offers just that, and will help you fine tune your work before you start sending it out for publication.
Is this the right report for me?
If you're ready to send your work out but want to fine tune your submission to give it the best possible chance of being accepted, this report is perfect for you. Or perhaps you've been submitting already, without success, and would like guidance on how you can improve the odds of seeing your poems in print.
If you're a little bit earlier in your poetry journey, and would like some initial feedback on your work even though you're not ready to try for publication yet, that's absolutely fine too – let us know in your covering letter that that's the stage you're at, and we'll be happy to help.
