Longlist Rejection

Hello

Thanks again for sending us your poems, which we really enjoyed reading.

Having only fourteen spaces in each issue means we're really limited in what poems we can take. On this occasion, I'm afraid we are unable to take your work but I did want to let you know that "xyz" did make our initial longlist from all of the poems submitted.

You're welcome to re-submit again for the next issue, either from this packet or new poems. Our submissions window is rolling, but the next deadline is January 13th.

In the meantime, I can reccommend our friends at Impossible Archetype, Just Femme and Dandy Mag, and Ergi Press who are all currently open for submissions from queer writers.

I'm always so thankful that people trust us with their poems - and I'm aware that getting rejections sucks. To soften the blow, there's a 20% discount available on our website, across all our books. Just head to fourteenpoems.com/shop and use the discount code THANKS20 at the checkout.

Thanks again and I hope to read more of your work in the future.
