Submissions

 For general questions, please visit inkandmarrow.com and use the “Contact Us” form at the bottom of the homepage.

• Please wait one year before submitting again if you’ve been previously published with us.
   
• There is no theme for this issue. We welcome poems that feel deeply, reach toward darkness or wonder, and refuse to look away.
   
• We do not accept poetry that rhymes or capitalizes the first letter of each line.
   
• We encourage simultaneous submissions, but if your work is accepted elsewhere, please email us promptly at inkandmarrowlit@gmail.com.
   
• We request first-world serial rights and the right to archive your work on our website. Copyright reverts to you upon publication.

  • Set permissions to “Anyone with the link – Viewer.”
     
  • Remove your name from the document title and header/footer for blind review.
