About the magazine
Poets Choice is an independent publisher and literary platform that emerged from a desire to democratize poetic expression. Founded on the belief that poetry should be accessible to both writers and readers, it operates as a hybrid between a traditional press and an open submission forum. Its core mission is to provide a welcoming space for voices that might otherwise go unheard, emphasizing emotional authenticity over academic pedigree. Through themed calls and anthologies, Poets Choice fosters a community where the personal and the universal intersect.
Submitting your work
Reading periodVaries
Poets Choice welcomes submissions from poets and writers at all stages of their careers. They respond best to work that engages sincerely with the emotional theme of the call—such as joy or grief—without excessive irony or obscurity. Before submitting, read the full guidelines on their website and review past anthologies to understand their aesthetic. Simultaneous submissions are generally accepted, but notify them promptly if your work is placed elsewhere. Expect a response time of several weeks to a few months.
