Copytext Magazine is a publication that treats the writing process itself as a primary text. For Issue Three, Winter 2026, the editors seek poetry submissions that include three distinct versions of a single work: an early draft, a middle draft, and the final publication-ready poem. This call is not for polished fragments but for the archaeological record of composition—the hesitations, revisions, and decisions that shape a poem. By requesting the 'shitty first draft' alongside its later iterations, Copytext positions revision as a curatorial act, inviting poets to expose the vulnerable, often invisible labor behind the finished work. The magazine's editorial vision is grounded in transparency and artistic integrity. Submitters are asked to resist post-hoc editing or polishing of earlier drafts, ensuring that each version reflects its true state at the time of writing. This approach offers readers and the editorial team a rare window into the creative process, moving beyond the myth of spontaneous genius to honor the iterative, sometimes messy, reality of poetic craft. The resulting publication becomes a study in decision-making, where the final poem is illuminated by the paths not taken and the revisions that mattered. For poets, this is an opportunity to have their process—not just their product—recognized and published. Copytext provides a platform where the evolution of a poem is as significant as its final form. The magazine's no-fee submission policy underscores its commitment to accessibility, ensuring that financial barriers do not preclude participation. By curating three versions, poets engage in a self-reflective editorial practice, selecting drafts that narrate a meaningful arc of artistic development. This call is for those who see revision as a vital, generative part of writing, and who are willing to share that journey with a discerning readership.
