what are you looking for?
previously unpublished poetry that suggests more than it first appears. eche is open-minded to a variety of work and we look forward to reading a range of poetry.
-
do you accept simultaneous submissions?
yes, we do. just let us know if your poem has been accepted elsewhere.
-
how will I know if my work is accepted?
for issue two, we hope to get back to you within 4 weeks of the submission window closing.
-
who do you accept submissions from?
we welcome submissions from both new and established poets. we don’t accept work created by AI. we are based in the uk, but are happy to accept submissions from anywhere in the world as long as the poems are written in english.
-
do you pay contributors?
no. as a new and independent project, we are currently unfunded. our hope is to build something sustainable, so we will let you know if this changes in the future.
-
what about reviews?
reviews focus on pamphlets and debit collections, in order to showcase writers early in their career. if you have a book or pamphlet you would like reviewed, or you’d like to write one, drop me an e-mail.
