The Poetry Review – for all Poetry Society Members

The Poetry Review, founded in 1912, is the magazine of the Poetry Society, UK, and has a long-standing policy of publishing the very best work by new and established poets. All submissions are read by the editor and considered on an equal basis. Unfortunately, because of the volume of submissions we receive, we cannot offer any individual criticism. Our aim is to accept or reject work within three months. Please read, and follow, the submission guidelines below, in order to facilitate our response. 

Submission guidelines (for all writers)

• Submit a maximum of six poems, all in the same document, with page breaks between them. Only one document is allowed per submission. 
• Please note when completing your address that you can begin typing the country name to find it, rather than scrolling down to find United Kingdom or United States for example.
• The 'cover letter' box below allows for any brief additional notes you feel relevant, but it is not essential.
• You may submit new poems only when you have a received a decision about your last submission.
• Please only send unpublished work. 
• We do not consider simultaneous submissions (work that is being considered elsewhere).
• If you need to withdraw individual poems from consideration, please click on the title of your submission; click on the "Activity" tab; and leave a note detailing which poem(s) should be withdrawn. Please only use the "Withdraw" function if you intend to remove all poems from consideration.

Use this form if you are a Member of The Poetry Society (submissions are FREE to Members). If you are NOT a Poetry Society Member please use this form. To join, please visit our website.
