Submission Guidlines

Thank you for considering The Poetry Cove Magazine for your poetry submissions. Before submitting your work, please review the following guidelines:

Submission Limit: Please send only one submission at a time, which may include up to three poems per submission. We kindly ask that you wait until you hear back from us before uploading a new submission. Sending multiple submissions simultaneously will result in all submissions being archived unread and will not receive a response.
Response Time: Our response time can be up to 3 months due to our small staff, who diligently reads through thousands of poems each year. We appreciate your patience during this process.
Email Filter: To ensure you receive our response, please set your spam filter to allow emails from contact@thepoetrycove.com. This will help prevent our emails from being filtered into your spam folder.
Previously Published Work: We consider both previously published and unpublished work. Please clearly indicate whether your poem(s) have been published before, and if so, provide details of where they were previously published. Please note that work that has appeared online, including social media posts, is considered to have been previously published.
Simultaneous Submissions: The Poetry Cove Magazine is open to simultaneous submissions. However, if your work is accepted elsewhere, please notify us immediately by email, specifying the work that is no longer available.
Format: Submissions should be in a standard font and format. We accept submissions via our online submission form only. Any submissions received by any other means will not be considered.
Content: We welcome submissions on a wide range of themes and styles. However, we reserve the right to reject submissions that contain hate speech, explicit content, or that do not align with our values of inclusivity and respect.

We look forward to reading your poetry and thank you for considering The Poetry Cove Magazine as a potential home for your work.

Deadlines

The Poetry Cove Magazine is open to submissions year-round, providing poets with ongoing opportunities to share their work with our readers. However, if you would like your poetry to be considered for the latest issue, we recommend submitting your poems at least 5 weeks before the publication date.

Publication dates are available on the magazine homepage, where you can find information about current and upcoming issues. To ensure your poetry has the best chance of being included in the next issue, please plan your submissions accordingly.

Review Process

At The Poetry Cove Magazine, we value each submission we receive and are committed to giving every poem the attention it deserves. Our dedicated team of editors reviews submissions consistently throughout the year, ensuring that every voice has the opportunity to be heard.

As a small and dedicated publication, we operate with a limited team and resources. While we are open to submissions 365 days a year, our review process may take up to three months before we are able to accept submissions for publication.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we carefully consider each poem we receive. Rest assured that every submission is given thoughtful consideration, and we strive to provide timely responses to all poets.

Thank you for entrusting us with your poetry, and we look forward to the opportunity to share your work with our readers.
