How To Present Your Poetry To Editors
You wouldn’t believe our mail. We aren’t talking volume or quality here. We’re talking diversity… good and bad! We are surprised that we have yet to receive a poem written on the back of White Cloud or on a napkin with golden arches.
For those who are new at submitting, please let us share some wisdom:
Type your poems just as you would like them printed.
Correct your own spelling, typos and smudges.
Either three-fold and put in one #10 size envelope (business size) or do not fold and put in and 8 1/2 x 11 manila envelope.
Enclose SASE (self-addressed stamped envelope) with submission or query.
Put sufficient postage on all envelopes. Special handling/delivery is not necessary. (Save your money to send for sample issues!!)
Put your full name, address and telephone number on back of each poem.
Optional: Send cover letter with questions or info. Send brief biography (list of publications)
2. Yes, Neatness Counts
Our mail is a veritable plethora of compulsions from the obsessively perfect to the obsessively messy. While most submissions arrive folded neatly with SASE in business size envelopes, there are others that boggle the mind. Some poets go to tremendous expense and lengths to have their work read in pristine condition while others seem to revel in dirty, stained, half-sheets, cross-outs, torn “manuscripts” with SASE 1/3 the size necessary to return the work.
We are average folk with average standards for hygiene. All you have to do is fold your poems in three places, attach a SASE and put them into a business size envelope with sufficient postage to receive your work along with our enclosure. Amy Vanderbilt is not on our staff but neither is “Pigpen.”
3. Returning Poems Timely & Tastefully
There are, as we all know, twelve months in any given year. If a poem is submitted to any magazine and held there for between five and seven months (the average holding time for replies from many of the better known presses), this adds up to only one or two chances yearly for any one poem to be selected for publication, unless, of course, you simultaneously submit your poems, which we strongly advise against since this can result in embarrassment for the poet and anger from the magazine which must revamp its next issue to delete the poem published elsewhere.
The Comstock Review, whose editors, themselves, are publishing poets, face this same dilemma. We try to alleviate this problem by having reading periods and quick turn around times. When you are submitting poetry to journals, it is important to assess holding periods.
4. Dear Sirs: How To Offend
When Jenny and Kathleen used to sit down to go over the week’s submissions and letters, it really was annoying to open missive after missive addressed to “Dear Sir.” It certainly made us feel anonymous, if not androgynous. So, if you do not know an editor on Try Number 1, that’s ok. You can solve your dilemma by trying one of these options:
Dear Poet; Dear Editor; Dear Colleague; Dear Reader; Dear Sir/Madam; Dear Staffer; etc, etc, etc.
There is no excuse for archaic appellations in this era.
5. When To Send Again
Magazines, like prisons, thrive on repeat business. But it is so difficult for a poet to know the difference between tastefully appearing in the post box and overkill. Even Robert Frost would not be welcome on a monthly basis to a magazine that publishes only two issues yearly. He would, however, be so very exciting to read two or three times a year.
We know most magazines do not get into the social amenities that we, at The Comstock Review, believe so crucial to the mental and spiritual well-being of poets… so perhaps you could just keep sending until they or you were silly. But we do write back and try to be more that a rejection/acceptance machine. We love poetry, and by extension or declension, poets. Keep those cards and letters coming but be judicious in the volume of poetry for review.
6. Keeping Records
Record keeping is one of the most important aspects of submitting your poetry. Very few magazines do re-prints. Thus, it is very important that you select the “Right” magazine for a particular poem and send it for review. You must have, above all things, a SYSTEM… Some method that is easy to use and to keep clear that notifies you instantly of these things:
Name of Poem/Magazine Submitted To/Date Submitted/Date Returned/Accepted/Not Accepted
Whether you use index cards, a copy of the poem itself or a computer file, this is information you need to know. You will be able to quickly re-submit poems to the next appropriate magazine with a SYSTEM. You will not be embarrassed instead of overjoyed by having the poem accepted by two magazines in the same mail.
hope it will help u
