We accept poetry submissions during our reading periods (generally February-April and September-November, but it may be variable).
You may submit once per reading period.
The editors at Nine Mile will attempt to respond within one month. Please review the guidelines before submitting your work.
If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to us via email at ninemilemag@gmail.com.
Thank you!
Nine Mile Magazine is published twice yearly and remains open to all poets. The next reading period is October 1, 2025 through December 15, 2025 for potential publication in the Spring 2026 issue.
You are invited to submit 3-5 poems in a single Word or text document for consideration. No PDFs, please. We also welcome submissions of poetry in translation, poetry reviews, and essays on poetry.
If your work is accepted, we will ask for a brief biographical note to introduce you to our readers.
We try to read and respond to all submissions within three months. If you don't hear from us in six months, please reach out to us at ninemilemag@gmail.com.
