Sabr Tooth Tiger Magazine

Submitting your work

Read the full call before submitting; the magazine's themes are interpretive prompts, not constraints. Send up to five poems in a single document, with a brief cover letter that states your connection to the theme without over-explaining. Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but notify immediately upon acceptance elsewhere. Expect response times of two to four months; the editors prioritize careful reading over speed. Do not query about status before the stated reading period ends. If rejected, wait until the next open call before resubmitting—this is a magazine that values patience as much as it does the work itself.
