For anyone who has not been published in collection form previously, we’ll be re-considering all submissions from this calendar year and, in early January 2026, we’ll choose our favourite from this category, for publication next July.

This opportunity is open to anyone who qualifies and submits before the end of December this year, so you have one month to get those submissions in. (Your submission will be considered a second time as part of our March 2026 cut-off).

Congratulations go to Ceri Morgan, who was our chosen poet from the April to September 2025 submissions period.

We’ll be taking her out to lunch shortly, where we’ll go through the publication process in more detail, bringing our creative ideas to the table (quite literally!). This is where will start working with her to ensure that “Unstuck” reaches its full potential and is published in a way that meets her expectations.

This is one of our favourite parts of the year, when the cycle of publishing begins again …

We are now accepting submissions throughout the year. For more information, please go to our Submissions page.

Our next cut-off for submissions will be the end of March 2026, at which point we will select our longlist for this reading period. We'll announce our shortlist of five poets by mid-April, one of whom will be published in November next year.

NEW!! Due to our desire to give a voice to previously unpublished poets, we now operate a further cut-off at the end of each calendar year. We will choose the best previously-unpublished poet from all the submissions each year for publication in the following Summer. See our submissions page for more details on this. Anyone who submits to us in 2025, and meets our criteria, will be considered for this publication slot.
