Include no more than 3-5 poems per
submission. Because of the large volume of submissions
to NYQ, and our desire to give every poet a fair reading,
our screeners cannot spend too much time during a given
screening session on one poet's work at the expense of
many others whose poems are waiting to be reviewed. If
you have a large number of poems you'd like considered,
please spread them out over several weeks in groups of
3 to 5 and they will all be read. Mail submissions
to:
The New York Quarterly
P.O. Box 2015
Old Chelsea Station

Proofread your poems before sending
them to us. Misspelled words and typos may bias
screeners against your work. |

Please indicate if your poems are
being submitted elsewhere at the same time as to
NYQ. |

Include a stamped, self-addressed
envelope with submissions. We can't send a response
and/or your poems back unless you do. And please don't
send postal coupons. |

|

Make sure the stamped, self-addressed
envelope can contain your submitted poems. If you
send an envelope which cannot hold your submissions, your
poems will be discarded. |

Each page of each poem should contain
your name and address. Poems continuing onto a
second page should be indicated as follows:
Hidden Sunrise, page 2
no stanza break.
Please keep your contact information current.

Please don't query us as to when
a poem will be considered or published. We have
a pretty good track record on these things, but we also
usually carry a large backlog of acceptances. Poems are
screened and responses are mailed usually within 5 to
6 weeks of our receiving your submissions. |
