Publishing to us is an art form and the process of publishing your work means as much to us as your art and poetry mean to you. We are a digital magazine and offer a print-on-demand option for those who wish to have a hard copy.
Several of the artists featured have sold their works after being featured or been invited by galleries to be represented because of us publishing them and although the same achievements would not be possible for poets, we are sure that having their work appear in PoetsArtists has given them the opportunity to be widely read and presented in a fashion which they would not have received in other journals/magazines.
We submit every issue to the Best American Poetry managing editor David Lehman and also nominate to the Pushcart Prize. Whenever possible we submit to other anthologies which we may qualify for.
Although we receive hundred of thousands of views per issue online very few take us up on purchasing a hard copy therefore we do not offer contributor copies. We hope to see your work featured soon.
