What We're Looking For:
At this time, Jackdaw Press only publishes poetry. We seek poems that are evocative, well-polished, and accessible. We look for vivid imagery, strong narratives, and fresh perspectives. To get a sense of poems we like, please read our inaugural issue.

Guidelines:

  • We happily consider simultaneous submissions. We ask, though, that you inform us immediately if your work is accepted elsewhere.
  • All work must be submitted through Submittable
  • You may submit 3-5 poems as one submission. We ask that poems not exceed one page in length.
  • We charge a $3 fee per poetry or Haiku submissions. We strive to provide thoughtful consideration of each submission and aim to respond within 3 months.
  • We also offer an Express Response option for a fee of $10. Response time for this option is within 14 business days.
  • For artwork, we charge a $5 submission fee for up to 10 images.
  • Jackdaw Press is currently unable to pay contributors. We publish an online flip book journal in order to make your work widely accessible. 
  • All submissions must be of previously unpublished work. Jackdaw Press acquires First North American rights, and the right to reprint in anthologies and online. After publication, all other rights revert to the author and the work may be reprinted as long as appropriate acknowledgement to Jackdaw Press is made.

Jackdaw Press seeks haiku that captures a moment of profound connection and insight, based on a fleeting experience, and usually grounded in nature. We seek work that grounds the reader in the moment while also hinting at something bigger, leading to a revelation or insight that comes from looking at something in a new way.
