Submission Guidelines

As a rule we publish shorter poems that fit on a single page (under 32 lines), but we occasionally make exceptions to accommodate other extraordinary work. We do not accept translations or work that has been previously published, in print or online.

Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but we respond quickly (often within three weeks) and request that our submitters take that response time into account. Please notify us immediately if your poems are accepted elsewhere. If after three months you have not received our response, feel free to query the status of your submission.

To submit your work via email, send three to five poems and a cover letter in a single attachment to submissions(at)32poems(dot)com. We prefer to receive .doc, .docx, or .pdf files and may not be able to read other formats.

Alternatively, we also read hard copy submissions at the following address:

George David Clark
32 Poems Magazine
Valparaiso University
1320 Chapel Drive South
Valparaiso, IN 46383

We respond to all submissions electronically, so there is no need to include an SASE, only your email address.
