Thuya Poetry Review is a brand new nonprofit journal publishing both emerging and established poets. They’re looking for poetry that demonstrates excellence in craft, in all forms and styles.

Thuya’s artful web presence reflects the creative concept of their journal. Thuya means sacrifice, and it’s a wood burned in ritual offerings.

Thuya also values education, and they partner with the Book Club of California to offer an editorial internship to one young author each issue. You can find more information about the internship here.

Right now through July 15, Thuya is accepting submissions for their first issue. Poets may submit up to five poems. Submitting poets can expect a response within three months.

All poets published in Thuya receive payment. The payment varies depending on current donations.

Thuya accepts submissions online, via Submittable. Although they prefer this method, they also accept submissions via email. They do not accept submissions by post. They accept simultaneous submissions but ask that poets immediately withdraw work published elsewhere. They do not accept previously published work, including work posted on social media.

Thuya only accepts submissions that adhere to the guidelines they’ve posted online. Please read these guidelines in full before submitting.
