Poetry rejections

Standard

Thank you for submitting to Nimrod. Unfortunately, we will not be publishing your submission at this time. We are returning your manuscript if you have provided us with an SASE with sufficient postage. Otherwise, we are returning the first page or cover letter so that you can identify your submission. You can be assured that your work has been read by editors who are fellow writers and critics dedicated to making thoughtful and aesthetically sensitive decisions—editors who wish they could publish all the sincere and well crafted work that is submitted to Nimrod. Limitations of space and funding dictate rigorous selectivity. We try to respond promptly and regret any delay in giving you our reaction to your submission. We are always in the process of reading—with care and consideration—the thousands of manuscripts submitted to us.

We hope that you will join us in our publishing venture which has lasted more than 50 years: resubmit, submit to our annual Nimrod Literary Awards competition, or subscribe to Nimrod ($30 for 2 years; Patron $50 or more.) Again, thank you for your submission.

Sincerely yours,
