Poetry Publishing Background -- Preferred Poetry Publishers

(return to Poems Published & Background menu)

These are some publishers I've submitted poetry to or am planning to. This includes some I've had previous rejections from but are nice publications that seem reasonable to work with. Though some might find it useful, I won't include a list of "dishonorable mentions," at least for the time being.

All these have volumes of interesting material to explore, not limited to but mostly poetry.

I'll try to keep this alphabetical, not in order of preference. The list may be updated periodically. I'll probably add notes about some later.
