About the magazine

SWWIM Every Day is the daily online poetry publication of SWWIM (Supporting Women in Miami), a literary organization founded in 2016 to amplify the voices of women and nonbinary writers. Rooted in Miami's vibrant cultural landscape, SWWIM began as a reading series and has grown into a digital platform that publishes one poem each weekday, fostering a community that values inclusivity, craft, and the immediacy of daily poetic engagement. The journal's ethos is one of generous rigor: it seeks work that is formally accomplished and emotionally resonant, without regard to trends or hierarchies.

Editorial focus

Founded and edited by a diverse, award-winning team of female poets, SWWIM Every Day publishes poems every weekday by cis/trans women, nonbinary, intersex, and other gender-expansive writers of all ages, races, ethnicities, cultures, orientations, and experiences. SED poems have been included in Best American Poetry, Best of the Net, Best Spiritual Literature, Poets.org, Poetry Daily, The Slowdown, Substack Reads , and more.

Reading feeYes
PaymentNo payment
Response time3 to 6 months
Simultaneous submissionsYes
Unsolicited submissionsYes

Poets should submit 1-3 poems of any style via Submittable during open reading periods, which are announced on the website and social media. Work should be previously unpublished. Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but please withdraw promptly if accepted elsewhere. Include a brief third-person bio. Response times vary, but queries after three months are reasonable. SWWIM values poems that demonstrate a strong command of language and a distinctive perspective; avoid overly familiar themes unless rendered with fresh insight.

We welcome free verse, prose poems, formal/received forms, invented forms, visual poems, and experimental work. We especially seek work from historically marginalized communities and like to see poetry that has been overlooked or excluded because of subject matter bias. SWWIM stands for Supporting Women Writers in Miami , where we offer residencies and run a reading series, but we publish writers from all over the world. We nominate for all eligible awards.
