Submission Guidelines
for
POETS ONLINE
We
regret that we can only consider poems
that are in response to the current writing prompt.
If you have written a
poem for the current prompt and want to
submit it to the site, please read and follow these guidelines:
- Format
your poem as you wish it to appear,
but keep in mind that formats are often
altered in the process of using e-mail,
and we will cut & paste
your poem as received. If your poem
is accepted, we will spell check and
correct any obvious errors found. If
there are other
questions about the poem, we will
e-mail you.
- Send
your poem in TEXT format, rather than
HTML, if possible.
- Put
the TITLE of the poem at the top in all
CAPITAL LETTERS
- SINGLE
SPACE your poem unless you are intentionally using line
breaks or spacing for effect.
- Please
put a first & last name you would like to use at
the end of the poem
- If
you wish to have your name linked to an e-mail address so that
readers can respond or contact you, include that address after
your name. Otherwise, there will not be
a link to your address.
- Please submit only one poem for consideration.
- To submit your poem,
send it in the body of an email to poetsonline@gmail.com with the subject line "submission" so that your mail is
filtered correctly.
