No, we do not pay for publication, though that is a long term goal.

When will I know if my submission was chosen?

We are a fully volunteer based organization so we do ask for patience, all chosen poets will know by 11:59pm PDT on the last day of the month.

Can I submit a poem in a language other than English?

Yes! We actually encourage this! We just ask that it is accompanied by an English translation.

What rights do I still hold?

We hold the rights to publication for 30 days then you are free to submit and have your work published elsewhere, however, we do ask for acknowledgement of first publication.
