Submissions wanted (poetry) | $100 per piece
Added 2025-11-21 17:06:39 +0000 UTCCOMPANY/PUBLICATION: BIG SCORE LIT
Deadline: 15 December 2025
Opening for poetry submissions for our second issue on November 3rd, 2025. We will close on December 15th, 2025, or once we reach 200 submissions. The second issue is slated to publish in March 2026.
TO SEND US POETRY:
With no identifying info on your submission file or in the title of that file, email us your previously unpublished work at bigscore.poetrysubs@gmail.com.
Three poems per writer per submission period and no more than 10 pages total, thanks. Longer poems — the same as longer narrative prose — face a steeper route to publication. Which isn’t to say we’d never run one, just that it is much less likely than the shorter variety.
Please no author-identifying info in the email subject line, the file name, or within the submitted file itself (we are repeating ourselves for good measure).
All submitted poems should be contained within one document; we will not consider any accompanying art.
A short numbered list of the submitted poems in the body of the email is appreciated and makes our work easier.
OK to include identifying info within your email itself — the evaluating editors will not be reading that until a verdict is rendered.
We pay $100 per accepted poem.
