Submissions Guidelines   

• Send your submission as one single Word document or PDF.
• Include your name either in the document name, or as a header.
• We ask that you wait until you hear back from us to submit again. Please send work no more than twice a year. Multiple submissions beyond two per annum will not be read. Please wait until you hear from us on one submission before you send work in another genre.
• In your email subject line, please follow this format:
  “Poetry Submission: [Title]”; “Prose Submission: [Title]”; “Annulet: [Text Considered]”; “Comparative: [Title] and [Title]”; “Review: [Title by Author of Book]”, “Comment: [Topic]”, or, finally, “Essay: [Title]”.
• We aim to have a three month response time. If you have not heard from us, your submission is still under consideration.
• Simultaneous submissions will be considered. Please indicate if they are in your cover letter.
• While not essential, you may include a brief bio note with your submission.
• Once you have reviewed your genre-specific guidelines, send your submission to annuletpoetics@gmail.com.
• We are currently looking most of all for submissions of annulets, comparatives, comment, or other essays in that order for our spring  launch issue.

• Please submit up to five poems at a time. Length is as you please.

• There is no word count minimum. The maximum word count should be within respectful reason. No full-length novels, please.
• If you are submitting multiple prose pieces, please send no more than three per submission. If your prose pieces are each less than a page, you can submit up to five per submission.
• In your cover letter, please designate if you consider your piece to be fiction, nonfiction, prose, or something else. Genre fiction would best be sent elsewhere.

• Poems or prose passages considered may come from any point in the literary record. 
• You may closely-read translations as long as your annulet considers the text in its original language.
  
• Please include a copy, in full, of the text (and its bibliographic information) you are close reading along with your submission, and citations as needed. You may send a scan, screenshot, or other files, as long as they are legible.
• Your annulet should be no longer than 1500 words, no shorter than 750 words.
• Our interest is much less piqued by canonical poems, or ultra-famous prose passages, unless you’re here to say something tangy about it. Pieces or selections considered must be published in print or online.
• Selections from conference papers, talks, and lectures are welcome as long as they are not elsewhere in print.
• Please include necessary bibliographic information, and use Chicago style for references.

• These essays may be longer, but no more than 5000 words.
• Please include necessary bibliographic information, and use Chicago style for references.
