SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

"I have a theory of art: set up an arbitrary set of rules and then follow them slavishly." --Errol Morris

-These are submission guidelines for poetry. If you're submitting fiction, you should go through our other site here.

-Currently, all Joyland Poetry editors are accepting submissions at

- Each editor works with writers with some connection to their region. It's pretty loose: living in the respective city or region for any amount of time is qualification enough for submission. The city-as-setting is in no way mandatory.

- Send your work as email paste-in (No attachments, except  in case of visually-based work. Please send a PDF). Include a short bio, and your subject line should read:

[CITY OR REGION][A TITLE]. Eg. NEW YORK "To Brooklyn Bridge"

 -You must list one of our city/region sections. International authors can submit to the Consulate section. 

-Single or multiple pieces will be considered. There are no word count or line count guidelines per se but be reasonable.

- You may submit once every three months, unless requested by an editor. We encourage simultaneous submissions.

- We also have rejection guidelines, which you should read HERE.

- Read Joyland and take note of our editors and what kind of work they publish in their sections.
