Poetry submissions should be no more than 3 poems or 7 pages.

  All submissions must include a cover letter with a short bio (written in 3rd person) and social media handles (if they are available).

  All submissions should be uploaded in a single document, beginning with your cover letter.

  Each page of the submission should have your name on it.

  Contributors must receive a reply from LIT before submitting new work.

  Do not submit more than once during any given submissions period.

  Our reading periods are from approximately April to June, then September to December. Please understand that due to high submission volume, your submission may carry over from one period into the next.

  Submissions filed by professional coordinating services will not be considered.
