Submissions



Submit to Orenaug Mountain Poetry Journal

We are happy to consider your work for publication in the poetry journal and any themed anthology. At this time, we can offer only publishing credit for your work. We do hope to be able to do more as the poetry journal matures.

You may submit one poem per month, Be advised, as the number of submissions have greatly increased in recent months, we are scheduling poems for publication four to five months in advance. Please do not submit something that you have submitted somewhere else if the other publication will require exclusive rights for any period of time.

Here are some guidelines for submitting.

  • Submit your poems using our form. Generally, we copy and paste the text you submit to the page. There are instructions on the form about what to do if your poems uses any usual spacing. We'll do our best to duplicate, but as a web page is different from a printed page, it may not look exactly as you have submitted.

  • Submit your best work. If you like it, chances are we will, too. Be sure you have taken the time to edit and revise your poems until they are the best they can be. We will consider publishing your poem  provided your submission meets minimum literary standards, including spelling, punctuation, and grammar, and is not offensive and/or hateful. We will not publish anything that arrives with a typo.

  • You may submit poems that have been published elsewhere. While we are always looking for new and original work, we also understand that you may have written poems for which you'd like more exposure. 

  • Include a short bio for listing in the author's section. Bios should be 30 words or less and be an "elevator pitch" for who you are, not a resume and publication list. You can include a web address or social media link for people to learn more about you. Take the time to write something we can use. If we have to rework your bio in any way, we will not publish your work

We will read and respond to your submission within 10 days and let you know when you work will be published. If you do not hear from us within that timeframe, we have not selected your work for publication.
