Our response time is pretty fast, and simultaneous submissions are annoying because too often they mean we waste time reading and discussing a work that is no longer available to us to publish.
We make our best effort to respond within three months. If three months have passed, please feel free to send us a query.
Please submit no less than four poems. We think it is best to publish a few poems by each poet, it gives everyone a better sense of your work.
We have no set style, theme, or topic. For an idea of what we gravitate towards take a look at what we have published in the past. We are really just looking for poems that excite us.
We would love to pay our authors, they deserve it, but our income is $0 —we take a loss on running GlitterPony. (we don't pay authors)
You don't need to. We are happy you have a history and maybe even interested in it, but we aren't interested in where you were published and stuff like that when we are considering your poems.
Please email us if you have a poem that for one reason or another doesn't work with our system.
Unless the submission is impossible to send through the normal route the answer is no. The system we've set up minimizes headaches for us and you during the proofing stages of publication. Submissions emailed without need will be quietly discarded.
Generally no. But if you have something please send us an email and we'll talk about it.
Depends (see above). Nothing special or different about our contracts from other poetry journals. We have a standard contract which basically gives us the right to publish the poem and use your name. You keep the rest of the rights. If your poem is accepted you'll have a chance to review the contract and (of course) it is your right to reject it, but that's never happened.
Please send them to us!
