Where to Submit for Fast Turnaround.

Poetry submissions are already stressful. Here are some magazines that have a fast acceptance turnaround when you are eager to publish!

 

Let’s be honest: submitting your poetry can totally suck. Sitting around waiting to hear if you’ll be accepted, receiving the good or bad news a year later. Le sigh.

Alas! With the help of our turbo homies at chillsubs, we’ve highlighted a few journals that have a proven dedication to responding quickly after you press submit.

Bluepepper welcomes submissions of up to three poems, or articles and stories of up to 1500 words. All submissions should be accompanied by a brief third person bio.

The mission of Chestnut Review is to provide a literary home to stubborn artists and writers. With an average response time around 3 weeks, they believe literary markets should be open to everyone, and are passionate about holding the door open for all writers who wish to enter theirs.
