32 Poems welcomes unsolicited poetry (nearly) year-round with brief hiatuses in May and November. We respond quickly though (often within a few weeks) and poets who have not received a response within 90 days are encouraged to query regarding their manuscript's status.

As a rule, we publish shorter poems that fit on a single page, but we sometimes make exceptions to accommodate remarkable work that runs a little longer. Please send no more than five poems (in a single document, if submitting online) and no more than one active submission at a time. We do not accept translations or work that has been previously published in print or online.

We believe poets should be paid for their work (and wish we could pay more). Contributors receive $25 per poem and two copies of the issue in which their writing appears.

For online submissions, we charge a $3 reading and processing fee, but that fee is waived for current subscribers.
