Submit your poem and win a 1000 USD prize!
We have recently encountered many talented poets who have not yet had the opportunity to gain an introduction to the public. Having the first volume of poems published is always a difficult step, as publishers tend to stick to more experienced poets. That is why we would like to offer this special opportunity for poets looking to have their first volume published: we are compiling an anthology of poetry.
The Anthology will be published for the Christmas holiday season.
The poem considered the best will be awarded a 1000 USD prize.
Let’s dive in!
What is a poetry anthology?
A poetry anthology is a volume that contains the works of more than just one poet. It offers poets a great opportunity to showcase their talent and share their stories with readers. When an anthology is compiled, it places the works of several authors next to each other, providing the reader with variety and colour.
We have already published three Anthologies with the participation of more than 250 authors.
Why should you participate?
The Anthology provides an excellent opportunity for authors looking to have their first works published. What’s more, the fact that the Anthology is sold in bookstores allows writers to introduce their work to a wider audience.
How can you participate?
If you would like to be included in the Anthology, you have to submit a poem. We will then edit and proofread the submitted works, place them in volumes, and then publish and sell them.
Education and training
You will receive more than just the opportunity to get published: the editor also provides specific feedback and helps correct the manuscript. This can help you learn and develop.

An excellent opportunity to have a reference of bookstore publication
Every poet dreams of having a traditional publisher discover them and give them the possibility to publish their work. One of the main obstacles is the fact that publishers avoid negotiating with poets who have no references. Being published in the Anthology is an opportunity to change this situation.
You probably still have several questions.
We collected the most important information to give you a full picture of how publication works.
As the book is a volume of poems, we accept poems only. We do not accept novels.
There is no limit to the length of submitted works.
Our fundamental principle is not to apply any censorship. However, if you do not take the advice of the editor and the editor does not consider the submission suitable for publication, we will reject the submitted work.
The editor will decide on the order of the poems published in the book. The biographies and introductions at the end of the book will be in alphabetical order.
The volume will be named after the poem considered by the editor to be the best. The poet of the winning poem will receive a 1000 USD prize.
No. We await all poems regardless of topic.
The fee for having your manuscript published is 59 USD/page of the final book. (Each page contains 21 lines.) The publication fee will be returned if the submission is rejected.
Yes, but the publication fee is payable for each poem/page.
Are you ready to be published?
If yes, there’s nothing more for you to do than submit your manuscript along with the following completed form.
