Rules for Listings

If you are a publisher of speculative poetry and would like to be listed on this page, you are welcome to email us and be added to the list. Listed markets must meet the following criteria:

• Your guidelines explicitly ask for speculative poetry. (Magazines that describe themselves as literary/speculative are also okay.)
• You have a working, up-to-date website.
• You are not permanently closed or on indefinite hiatus.
• You have published an issue within the last year, or intend to publish your first issue soon.
• You do not charge for submissions. (Fees for contests are okay.)

If you have demographic, geographic, or content restrictions, please include these in your email.

Delisting Criteria and Contact Information

Markets with nonworking websites, no updates for over a year, or which describe themselves as "on indefinite hiatus" or permanently closed will be removed.

Send new markets and corrections to sfpaweb@sfpoetry.com
