Whiptail: Journal of the Single-Line Poem opens Oct 1!
Reading and publication schedule:
Submissions are accepted and published on the Whiptail website on a rolling basis.
Response time:
If you have not heard back within 21 days, you are free to submit your poems elsewhere. We will not send notices for declined work. Please wait 30 days before sending your next submission, whether accepted or declined. Please refrain from simultaneous submissions.
What to submit:
Please submit 3-5 one-line poems of any variety, including monostich haiku, senryu, one-line tanka, poetic fragments, one-line micropoems, or lyrical lines. One-line concrete poetry, and haiga, shahai, and vispo that employ a single-line poem will also be considered. Prose sentences will not.
All submitted work must be your original and previously unpublished work. This means poems that have not appeared on social media, as we want to be the first venue to present your poem to the public. Include your name as you wish it to appear in publication and any social media handles so we can tag you in our postings.
How to submit:
Submit your poems via the Google form on the Whiptail submission page. For concrete and visual poems, complete the Google form and type out each poem as one line, then email images as attachments in jpeg or png form to whiptailjournal@gmail.com. Please make sure the name and email address match on the form. All images should be formatted as a square as this will be the house style for all posts.
Rights and terms:
Whiptail retains the right to publish your work on our website and social media accounts. All rights return to the author upon publication. Whiptail reserves the right to reuse work that has appeared in the journal, with proper citation, in any future print or electronic collections or anthologies. If the author wishes to later republish the work, Whiptail requests that you cite the journal as the venue of first publication.
Whiptail does not publish anything racist, misogynistic, xenophobic, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, or the like. Don't send it.
Payment:
Whiptail is a non-paying market.
