Drifting Sands now has open submissions - open indefinitely.
Issues will be published each time we've compiled a collection of about 20 accepted poems.
You can submit two poems (two haibun, two tanka prose, or one of each) no more than once per month.
Guest editors read until their issue is full. After that, a publication date is set and a new editor takes up the role. This means you can't be guaranteed a specific editor. It also means we don't guarantee a specific publication schedule.
Here's the latest submission/publication schedule:
Issue 1 – in the books.
Issue 2 – current issue.
Issue 3 – Diana Webb has CLOSED submissions. Release date: September 30, 2020.
Issue 4 – Pris Campbell is ACCEPTING SUBMISSIONS.
