NOTES FOR SUBMISSION


Rack Press publishes only three short poetry pamphlets a year.

Most pamphlets are individually commissioned by the Press so that the scope for publishing unsolicited work is very limited.

For all the above reasons the overwhelming majority of unsolicited submissions, regrettably, are turned down.  This is no reflection on the quality of work submitted and no one submitting work should be discouraged.  Often we would love to publish your work but we simply don’t have the capacity.

If you would like to submit work please obtain a copy of one of the pamphlets and study it carefully so that what you are submitting suits the format and style of Rack Press. 

Submit only enough poems for a pamphlet not a full-length book collection.

NO EMAIL SUBMISSIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED.

Please enclose a stamped, addressed envelope for return of the manuscript. 

Please enclose a very brief literary curriculum vitae (one paragraph) and one or two copies of any reviews of your work if any.
