Poetic Sun: Now Accepting Submissions

Poetic Sun is a new literary journal managed by Shi Yang Su and Jia Ning Ran.

This is what the say they are looking for:

“Wild Fantasy and Dark Dreams. Give us your whimsical whims and share us your highs and lows. We want everything from you, your flash poems and classic writings.”

Because they are so new, it’s hard to get a feel for what they’ve published in the past, but their website is well designed and easy to use, which is a good starting point.

They accept no more than three poems at a time. They accept and publish poems written in English and Chinese.

Cover letters are not required, but short third-person bios are.

If you are rejected, there is no waiting period before submitting again. Simultaneous submissions are allowed.

All submissions are to be made via email to poeticsunforsubmission@gmail​.com . Please format the subject as follows: Poetry Submission+ Your Name

All written submissions must be in the .doc or .docx format.

To learn more, please visit their website here.
