Paying market, 2013 Poet's market, pays $50 per poem

Deadline: 15 August 2011

Robert Brewer will consider poetry submissions for the 2013 Poet's Market. 20 previously unpublished poems will be selected for publication in the book, and the poets will receive a paycheck for their poems.

The submission guidelines are below. Failure to follow the guidelines may result in your poetry not being considered for publication.

* Submit up to 3 poems.
* Submit only once. Double submissions (even to correct mistakes in earlier submissions) will be deleted unread.
* Submit previously unpublished poems. Poems posted on a personal blog or critique forum do not count as previously published. However, if you have any questions, direct them to Robert Brewer.
* Simultaneous submissions okay. However, please contact Robert Brewer immediately if your poem(s) is accepted elsewhere.
* Submit between June 1, 2011, and August 15, 2011, at 11:59 p.m. (Atlanta GA time). Anything submitted after the deadline will be deleted unread.
* Poems should be typed or copied into the body of the e-mail. However, if you're a visual poet who can't get the formatting to work in the body of the e-mail, contact Robert Brewer in those unique circumstances.
* Include your name, contact information, and a short bio AFTER your poems.
* Send your submissions to robert.brewer@fwmedia.com with the following subject line: My 2013 Poetry Submission

What poets can expect after the August 15 deadline:

* Selection 20 poems for the 2013 Poet's Market by December 15, 2011.
* Announcement of selected poems/ poets on http://blog.writersdigest.com/.
* Those 20 poets will receive a publishing contract for their poem to be published in the 2013 Poet's Market. The contract will include publication, $50 payment, and a contributor copy of the 2013 Poet's Market.
* The 20 poets may also be given the opportunity to record their poems and talk about their poems, though that's still kind of in the air.
* The 2013 Poet's Market will be released in autumn of 2012.
