[Submission Guidelines] [Guest Editor Guidelines]

Poets Resist is a current events poetry series, edited by a series of guest editors, published by Glass Poetry Press as part of Glass: A Journal of Poetry. We are looking for poems that reflect the immediacy of the world around us. We are looking for poems that are targeted, and unafraid. We are looking for poems that actively resist by condemning horrors and by celebrating collective strength. Engage. Write. Resist. Poets Resist is published on a rolling basis as accepted submissions are received. Accepted poems will be archived on the Glass website and added to the Glass Extras section of the following issue of Glass. If your work is accepted, we request First North American serial rights as well as the right to archive your work on our website and to use your work, with credit given to you as the author, for promotional purposes. Otherwise, upon publication, all rights revert back to the author under the condition that you will credit Glass: A Journal of Poetry (Poets Resist) as the original publisher should your work be reprinted. Our mission is to engage with the wider literary community. To do this, we are committed to publishing a variety of new, emerging and established voices. Further, we are committed to inclusion and equity in publishing. We highly encourage submissions from underrepresented & marginalized voices. Further, due to the timeliness of the Resist series, we are particularly interested in work from members of those communities affected by the events. All submissions must come through our Submission Manager System. Any submissions not sent through the Submission Manager System will not be read. To submit, please follow these guidelines: • All submissions should be addressed to the current Poets Resist guest editor, and sent through our Submission Manager System, under the “Resist” category • Please submit 1 poem at a time and please wait to submit again until after we have responded to your original submission. Please attach this as a doc or docx file. • On the first page of your submission, include a brief, professional cover letter with a brief, third person bio. If you have a website and/or a twitter account, please include this info in the cover letter as well. • Simultaneous submissions are accepted (and encouraged). If your work is accepted elsewhere, please send an email to resist[at]glass-poetry[dot]com with the subject line "[Your Name]: Withdrawal" to let us know. • Previously published work is not accepted. This includes, but is not limited to, work posted on social media and personal websites and blogs. Unfortunately, we are unable to pay you for your poems other than through publication and with our gratitude. Response times may vary. We hope to reply within eight weeks. If you have not received a response to your submission within four months, please send an email to resist@glass-poetry.com. Upon acceptance, the Glass team will publish your poem as quickly as our schedule allows. However, we are working poets and editors and we also have day jobs so we do ask that you please be patient and know that your work will be published in a timely manner. If, after your work is accepted, you have any questions about the publication schedule, please address those to Glass Poetry Press editor-in-chief, Anthony Frame, who you can contact at editor[at]glass-poetry[dot]com.

Call for Guest Editors: Poets Resist

Poets Resist is run by a rotating group of guest editors. If you would like to guest edit Resist for a month, please follow the following guidelines: Email editor[at]glass-poetry[dot]com with the subject line Guest Editor: [Your Name] (replacing "[Your Name]" with your name) Please include a little information about yourself, including, but not limited to, your interests as a writer, your interests as an editor, your experience as a writer and/or editor, how much time you can reasonably spend reading submissions, and why you would like to guest edit Resist. Please also indicate which months would work best for you to edit Resist (note: please list as many months as you can as some months may already be assigned to another guest editor). Requirements for guest editors: Guest editors will be expected to read and respond to Poets Resist submissions, including accepting and declining submissions. The number of hours you will be expected to work on submissions will vary depending on the amount of submissions received. Guest editors need not have previous experience editing a literary journal. Guest editors will have the full support of Glass EIC, Anthony Frame, and guest editors will have complete creative control over Resist during their tenure as the Resist editor. Unfortunately, we are not able to pay guest editors at this time, but they will be given a complimentary copy of a Glass chapbook of their choosing as a small token of appreciation for their work.
