Poetry Publishers Who Accept Email Submissions

lcrew's Note: I am a poet, not a publisher. Neither send your manuscripts to me for critique nor query me for advice about how to publish them. I list below an abundance of resources that can help you place your manuscripts. That is the only help that I have to offer you unless you are a personal friend. --L.
I invite you also to inspect my collection of current calls for manuscripts, my poetry page, and my home page. Send additions and corrections to lcrew@newark.rutgers.edu
Enjoy!
Below I list poetry editors who are willing to accept submissions electronically. To access an editor's email address, click on the editor's name, or on 'editor'. To access the web address, if any, click on the name of the publication. If no email address is actived by the Editor or the editor's name, likely the magazine requires that you use a form at the publication's website.
Before you submit materials, you should read the publication's guidelines.
I repeat for the hard-of-hearing: PLEASE DO NOT SEND SUBMISSIONS TO ANY OF THE FOLLOWING POETRY PUBLISHERS WITHOUT FIRST REQUESTING AND READING SUBMISSION GUIDELINES.
Some editors have complained that too many people fail to read what they have said, sending long poems when short are desired, or short when long are desired..... You do not prompt a sympathetic reading if you ignore what the editors have taken time to advise.
You may also check Writer's Digest or the current edition of the International Directory of Little Magazines & Small Presses, published by Dustbooks, Box 100, Paradise, CA 95967. It is also appropriate to query the publisher for current guidelines, together with announcements for any thematic issues. It is good to purchase a sample copy and study of the magazine to determine whether your material would have a fit with the other material published.
Some websites confirm that the publshers allow submissions by email, and I have queried all of the others to confirm that they do.
When editors accept submissions by email, most prefer to have them sent in the body of your message, not as attachments and not in formats of word processors they do not have. When in doubt, ask the editor.
I hope this helps you connect. --Lutibelle/Louie
Note: I am continually adding and removing publishers. If mail to one of these bounces, please alert me. I want to keep this list as current as possible.
I have indicated the date added for the most recent entries. -- LC
