 SUBMISSIONS & JOBS

Submitting your poetry to Anvil

Please note: we do not consider unsolicited work sent by e-mail. We will only consider submissions sent by mail in typescript form, and with suitable means enclosed to pay for return, if return is required. Expect to wait for 3 months before you receive a response.

Our interests and editorial priorities can be judged from the catalogue. Please bear them in mind - for example, we do not publish children's books.

If you are writing in English but living outside the UK or Ireland, consider starting to publish locally if at all possible.

We judge the quality of translated poetry by the quality of the translation as English poetry. Our translators are mainly poets in English. But we cannot publish unknown poets, however good.

If you haven't published poems in poetry magazines, you should be aiming to do so before approaching book publishers, who are unlikely to be interested in books by writers who have had little or nothing accepted by magazines.

For information about poetry magazines in the UK, see reference works like The Writers' Handbook or The Writers' and Artists' Yearbook, or join the Poetry Society (www.poetrysociety.org.uk).

Jobs and freelance

Our staff is at its full complement of two, so we have no vacancies and are unlikely to do so for the foreseeable future.

We receive many enquiries from freelance proofreaders, editors and illustrators. As we publish no illustrated books and manage all our editing and proofreading ourselves, we're sorry that there are no opportunities for such freelance work with us.
