OPEN to Submissions

Dear readers,

I am delighted to let you know that views and visitors for the month of February 2023 exceeded all expectations, and indeed, exceeded any other month since I’ve been publishing Autumn Sky Poetry DAILY (and its predecessor quarterly magazine). To me, that says the site upgrade has been a success!

If you’re wondering about poetry being dead, I am here to tell you that it is unequivocally NOT. Thank you very much for subscribing and reading a poem each day.

happy writing,
Christine, editor

Poetry Submissions

1. Send ONE poem in the body of an email to autumnskypoetryeditor@gmail.com with SUBMISSION in subject heading (no cover letter).

2. Response time is one week via publication. If your poem doesn’t appear online within one week, it did not meet my esthetic and won’t be published.

No formal acceptance or response will be sent. Read Autumn Sky Poetry DAILY for one week from the date of your submission and you will find out if your poem was chosen for publication when it either does or doesn’t appear online.

3. Include links to your website, Facebook, Instagram, etc. (please, no bio).

4. Reprints and previously published poems are welcome. Please mention that your poem has been previously published and where so that proper credit can be posted with the poem.
