Submissions

Ephemeral Elegies is open to submissions! We want to see your best confessional poetry. To learn more about confessional poetry, please read this. When you’re ready to submit, send 1-3 poems in the body of an email (no attachments, please) to ephemeral.elegies@gmail.com. For the subject line of the email, use the word “Submission” and your last name. Please, also make sure the email includes a brief bio (written in 3rd person) and any website links you’d like us to include so that readers can explore more of your work. We will do our best to respond to all submissions within three months of receiving them.

As an emerging publication, we can only offer support and exposure as payment for the time being. For previously unpublished poems, Ephemeral Elegies will retain First Publishing Rights and all other publishing rights will remain with the poet. We do also accept reprints.

Poems will be posted throughout each month and will be added to the archives at the end of each month.
