Poetic Matrix Submissions
Submissions for poetry
Submissions for our
online periodic letteR
Submissions for book length manuscripts

As a small press we are very selective about what books we publish.  Please look over our publications and this website
before submitting.  We are happy to look over good quality, well written poetry but I must tell you we only publish 3-5 books
per year.  Particularly look on the website under PM Archives and read
Why Do This? before submitting, it will give you a
statement about why we started Poetic Matrix Press.  To a large extent we look for poetry that has turned the corner and
gone from being caught in the wreak of one's life to a more Buddhist understanding.  

Every two years we place a call out for manuscripts for our
Slim Volume Series.  Recent publications include: The
Unequivocality of a Rose
by Joel Netsky and Change (will do you good ) by Gail Entrekin.  The Slim Volume Series is the
primary vehicle for choosing new manuscripts.  A new call for manuscripts will come out in 2009.

We publish our
online periodic letteR about 2 times a year (it is periodic after all).  To send poems via email to this site,
re-type and e-mail without any spaces to: poeticmatrix@yahoo. com.  Email is the best way to present what you are doing, 3
to 5 pieces is appropriate. We only accept pieces in the body of the email, we
will not open attachments as they are too time
consuming for the number of submissions we receive (please make sure you create line breaks in the email so the formatting
remains).  Please include a short bio with the submission.

All submissions received, either specific to the
online periodic letteR or book submissions, will be reviewed for submission to
the
online periodic letteR.

Because we are a small press please be patient, we will respond but it may take some time.

We encourage you to look over our titles.  Our authors come from all parts of the society; from university professors to
highway contractors to lawyers to students.  Poetry flourishes in all quarters of the culture and it is our missions to seek out
new and interesting work and get it out to a quality public.  We invite you to read and purchase our poetry books.  You can
preview our books on Google Book Search available on our Press Page.  One of the roles of the poet is to support other poets
- BUY a Book!

Thank you for your interest in our Press.
If poets and lovers of poetry don't
write, publish, read, and purchase
poetry books then we will have
no say in the quality of our
contemporary culture and no
excuse for the abuses of language,
ideas, truth, beauty, and love
in our cultural life.
