All poets age 14-19 are invited to submit during the month of April up until August 31st.

You are invited to submit 3-5 poems in a single Word or text document for consideration. No PDFs, please. Please submit through Submittable: https://ninemileartscorp.submittable.com/submit

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.

We use Submittable to accept and review our submissions.
