From now until May 31, 2019 I will be accepting poetry submissions to be considered for The Beautiful Stuff’s weekly “VerseDay”. Poems may not exceed 80 lines, must be previously unpublished (unless if it was on authors own website), and must be the original work of the author. Please send all submissions to: sereichert@comcast.net, or via The Beautiful Stuff website: (https://thebeautifulstuff.blog/contact/) with the subject line “VerseDay Submission 2018-2019”.

Please include the title; your poetry, your name, and a short bio in the body of your email. You may submit as many times as you would like, but please no repeated work sent. If your work is a simultaneous submission please let me know.

There is no fee for submitting.

Every submission will be read and, if selected, the author will be notified of the date of their poem’s publication on The Beautiful Stuff. Promotional links will be provided to make it easier to spread the word about your poetry.

In June, after submission closes, I will sort through the year’s entries and select poems for the inaugural Beautiful Stuff 2018-2019 Poetry Anthology. Winners will receive a free copy of the anthology and the option to purchase more at a discounted rate.

You may email me or message me via Facebook with any questions or concerns you have about the contest rules and submissions.

That’s the long and the short of it. So send me something good. Give me guts and heart, all the dark and light of your thoughts. I look forward to reading your poems and giving you a chance to showcase your work!
