Submitting your work
Reading periodOpen now
Before submitting, carefully review Blinker's guidelines for brief poetry—typically under ten lines. They value concision and craft over volume; send only your most polished, essential work. Simultaneous submissions are usually accepted, but notify promptly if placed elsewhere. Expect a modest response time; patience is part of the process. Avoid lengthy cover letters; let the work speak.
