Poetry (Expedited Submission)
Note: All submissions received in for this expedited call will include a PDF download of our Spring Issue #33. We hope the work of our amazing contributors sparks your inspiration & creativity! (Check the e-mail associated with your Submittable account to receive your PDF.)
In addition, we provide a personalized response for our expedited submissions. Although this is not detailed feedback, it is a way for us to share something that we appreciated about your work and give you a bit of insight into what caught our eye during the review process.
We're looking for work that will appear in our upcoming issues! Issue #34 is scheduled for Summer. Submissions from this call will be considered for that issue first. However, you'll still be considered for future issues once our Issue #34 allotment is reached.
Send us your best visual art (painting, drawing, photography, digital), writing (poetry, short fiction, flash fiction, essay), or hybrid forms. Here are our general submission guidelines:
- Up to 6 poems (submit multiple poems in a single file; .docx preferred)
- Hybrid / visual poetry is welcome. Any images may be attached as .jpg files.
- Visual Art is welcome. If you create both poetry and visual art, you may attach a selection of your visual pieces within this submission as well.

About Us:
Wild Roof Journal is an online art & literary publication that features work from a wide range of creative people—painters, drawers, photographers, digital artists, writers, poets, and anyone else who is passionate about the creative process and self-expression.
Our primary goal is to provide a welcoming environment for artists to share their work. The people behind the scenes of Wild Roof are fellow artists—we know the amount of time and energy it takes to produce a finished piece, and the challenges of getting it out into the world for people to see. We want to offer opportunities for artists to connect with other artists as well as to promote their work to a larger audience.
We would like to keep our themes broad enough to offer a lot of room for interpretation. Our emphasis is on presenting the most engaging and thoughtful artwork possible, not on adhering to strict rules for subject matter or style. _______________________________________________________ Note for all submissions:
- Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but please withdraw pieces from consideration if they are accepted elsewhere. If you have a previously published piece that you feel deserves our attention (and you have retained the rights), please acknowledge the previous publication.
- If your work is accepted, you agree to give Wild Roof Journal online publishing and archival rights; following publication, all rights revert back to the author/artist. We ask that you credit Wild Roof Journal if the work is published elsewhere in the future.
- By submitting, you agree that no ai was used in the creation of the work.
