Guidelines:

If you share our philosophy for publication, please feel free to submit your poetry for consideration in our next monthly issue. Our editors review submissions on a rolling basis. Please submit 1-5 of your best pieces for consideration. Our editors will consider work from established and emerging poets alike.

Our team is deeply committed to curating a diverse publication. We encourage writers from historically marginalized communities to submit to Rising Phoenix Review. Our publication is open to all poets, regardless of race, age, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, or religious affiliation. We strive to make our platform a safe space.

Please send your poetry in a Microsoft Word Document. Format your text in 12 point Times New Roman font. In addition, please include a brief bio of 100 words or less. We love to help promote and support the writers we feature, so please feel free to send us links to your social media accounts.

Please make all of your submissions through our Submittable account.

Simultaneous Submissions: 

We accept simultaneous submissions. Please promptly notify our editors if you choose to publish your submission with another magazine.

Previously Published Poetry:

You may submit any work, published or unpublished, unless you are restricted from doing so by an agreement with a previous publisher. If you are submitting previously published poetry, please notify us where and when your poem was accepted. Additionally, you must own the rights to your piece in order to submit it to The Rising Phoenix Review.
