Palette Poetry Call for Submissions

Submissions for Palette Poetry’s Featured Poetry category are open year-round to poets at any stage of their careers. Featured poems are published online only and will spotlight a number of poems from new authors each month. They highly encourage emerging authors to submit and those from under-represented and marginalised communities.

They offer payment to poets whose work is selected; $50 per poem, up to $150.

Submission Guidelines:

  • Submissions are open internationally, to any poet writing in English – other languages are welcome, as long as the meat of the poem is in English.
  • Poets may send up to 5 poems that total no more than 10 pages. Multiple submissions are not accepted, all poems must be submitted in ONE document.
  • A cover letter with your publication history must be included, alongside contact information.
