SoFloPoJo - South Florida Poetry Journal

Submitting your work

Poets should submit 3-5 poems in a single document, with a brief cover letter and bio. The journal values clarity, originality, and emotional depth; avoid overly abstract or clichéd language. Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but notify immediately if work is accepted elsewhere. Response times vary, but queries after three months are appropriate. Reading periods are typically open year-round, but check the website for updates. SoFloPoJo appreciates poems that surprise and move, so take risks while maintaining control of craft.

Please do not send emotions that rhyme or didactic verses whether political or religious. The most common editorial feedback to our authors is the deletion of the in-case-you-missed-my-point summation at the end of the work. Trust your readers.
