Apogee Press

Manuscript submissions

Apogee Press accepts submissions of full-length poetry manuscripts, typically between 48 and 80 pages. The press values work that demonstrates a coherent, innovative vision and a mastery of craft, with a preference for projects that extend the possibilities of poetic form. Before submitting, poets should familiarize themselves with the press's catalogue to understand its aesthetic range. Submissions are generally read during specific windows, announced on the website and social media. Include a brief cover letter, a table of contents, and the manuscript as a single PDF. Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but please notify promptly if the work is placed elsewhere. Given the press's small size, response times can be lengthy; patience is appreciated. Apogee does not charge reading fees, reflecting its commitment to accessibility.

Please look at the submission guidelines on our website and at some of our publications before submitting to us. And please query us before sending a full manuscript.
