A big thank you to Diane Lockward for posting such a great list on her poetry blog! (It’s one less list for me to create.) The list provides links to each journal and reading periods. She recently updated it to include even more journals, so this is a current list!

“I’ve added links for your convenience. I’ve also indicated the number of issues per year, the submission period dates, which journals accept simultaneous submissions, and which ones require snail mail submissions. Almost all of the journals have now switched to online submissions.” 

A few may have fees and she has indicated such next to those, but there might be others. It appears that most do not. Enjoy! Happy summer submitting!

Diane Lockward is the editor of a new craft book: The Practicing Poet: Writing Beyond the Basics. She is also the author of four poetry books, most recently The Uneaten Carrots of Atonement. Her poems have appeared in Harvard Review, Southern Poetry Review, Prairie Schooner, and elsewhere. Her work has also been featured on Poetry Daily, Verse Daily, American Life in Poetry, and The Writer's Almanac. She is the founder publisher of Terrapin Books.
