Biblioasis: Poetry Manuscript Submissions Now Open Until May 31!
Poets, send us your collections! Our 2026 reading period for poetry manuscripts is now open from now until Sunday, May 31st.
Biblioasis poetry submission guidelines:
- We can only consider unpublished work. Individual poems in the manuscript may have appeared in journals or anthologies, but the collection as a whole must not have appeared as a print or digital edition.
- Manuscripts should range between 48 and 100 pages in length.
- Manuscripts must be entirely human-created. We do not accept work that was written, developed, or assisted in any capacity by artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as ChatGPT.
- Only one submission per writer will be reviewed. Multiple submissions will be deleted unread.
- Only electronic submissions will be accepted. To submit, please send your manuscript to our Duosuma submission portal. PDF, .doc, .docx, and .rtf files are accepted, though PDF is preferred. We will send confirmation that your submission has been received. Please send your manuscript only once: revised and updated versions will not be read, so make sure you’re happy with your text before submitting.
- Please include a cover letter outlining your previous publications and relevant experience. Include your cover letter as the first page of your manuscript.
- Simultaneous submissions are fine! If your manuscript is accepted by another publisher, kindly reach out to let us know your good news so that we can withdraw it from our consideration.
This is not a contest and we do not guarantee that any manuscripts will be accepted for publication. If your manuscript isn’t quite ready for this reading period, we encourage you to continue working on it and submit it during our next period: we want to see your best work. If you have any further questions, please reach out to submissions@biblioasis.com.
