Send us your poems

Poem submissions are now open until the end of November 2024.

Send us a handful of your best unpublished poems for us to choose one from, if it appeals strongly to us. The address to send them to is poetry@intocreative.co.uk 

Send your poems in a Word document or in the body of the email. No bio or covering letter is required: we will follow up with you on any details required following acceptance.

Each featured poem is accompanied by a commentary written by the editor, with input from the poet. Have a look at some of the other featured poems on the site to see what the format is like.

We publish both established and emerging poets. Your publication history won’t affect your chances of being chosen.
