Submission Guidelines

Fire Poetry Journal's Free Submissions Period is OPEN!

Submissions opened September 15​, 2019.
Submissions will close November 15, 2019.
​
Submissions sent outside of these dates are deleted unread.
Guidelines:

​We accept original, previously unpublished poetry. We pay our authors a $5 honorarium after publication. 

Please submit a cover letter with a 50-100 word biographical statement AND attach up to 5 poems in a single document (.doc .docx .pdf .rtf). Simultaneous submissions are accepted if acknowledged in the cover letter.


All cover letters and submissions should include the author's name, address, and telephone number at the top left of the first page.

We ask for first online publishing rights. All rights revert to author upon publication. If you republish your work online and in print, we ask you credit Fire Poetry as its first home.

Send Submissions to our email (  submissions(at)firepoetry.com  ) with the subject "LastName Poetry Submission."

​By submitting, you may also receive 2 promotional emails a year to announce the latest issue. No Spam. We promise.

Please wait until your poems have been considered before submitting again.

Reminder: Our submission periods run from September 15 until November 15 and March 15 until May 15.

Any submissions sent outside of this period will be deleted unread.
​Occasionally, we may open other submission windows. Keep an eye on this page!



Donations and grants sustain our author's fund.

Our author's fund is also supported by Shaun Turner, as recipient of an Emerging Artist Award from the Kentucky Arts Council, the state arts agency, which is supported by state tax dollars and federal funding from the National Endowment for the Arts.
