WWPH Writes Poetry

Washington Writers Publishing House publishes new poetry biweekly on our website and newsletter.
 

We are happy to consider never-published original poetry as well as reprints from recent or upcoming published full-length poetry collections or chapbooks (please indicate publication date and press) from writers living in Washington, D.C. Maryland and Virginia. 1-3 poems not to exceed 5 pages. 12-point type, single-spaced.

Please provide a cover letter addressed to the appropriate editor with a biography of 50 words or less.
 

Please limit your submission to once per year except for special calls or contests.

Payment 

We are committed to paying authors. We are paying $25 for each piece. We only will send payments via snail mail check payment  (this payment excludes reprints).

About half of our writers opt to waive payment as a way to support WWPH.  Like many small literary journals, WWPH Writes is a labor of love. All support goes directly into increasing visibility for the writers we publish and their work. If you are interested in either option, please let us know.
