Free Poetry Submissions for Black Writers
Ends on
Send us your best poem. Yes, 1 poem per submission. We want new, innovative works by fresh voices. Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but please contact us if the piece is picked up elsewhere.
Note: This submissions category is only open to Black writers. Please do not submit work to this category if you are not Black.
In the body of the message box, please provide a short cover letter including a brief bio and contact information. If you have used AI in any phase of the creation, writing, or editing of this piece, please disclose that fact in your cover letter and explain how/why you used it.
We are sorry that we are unable to consider revisions to poems once they have been submitted. If you would prefer we review a revised version of your submission, please withdraw and resubmit it.
Thank you!
