Our theme is:
“ Women in a Violent World”
Submissions are now open for our next anthology. We are looking for poems that come from lived experience.

Submissions are open from November 1 until November 30, midnight CET.
Our editors/ readers for this anthology are Annick Yerem, Mo Schoenfeld, Sue Finch, Sarah Connor, Róisín Ní Neachtain and Giovanna MacKenna.
Please read the submission guidelines carefully. We work hard to put together anthologies that our editorial team and our contributors can be proud of, and these guidelines help us in our work. We will reject work which does not meet these guidelines.
