We are now reading for the May 2022 issue.
SoFloPoJo has migrated to Submittable as of January 2021.
There are NO READING FEES. All Poetry, Essay, Flash Fiction, & Video submissions should be submitted through our Submittable page. After reviewing our guidelines please use the SUBMIT button at the bottom of this page. What’s Your Favorite Poetry Event? For the February 2022 Special Section, please tell us about your favorite poetry residence, reading series, festival, conference, colony, workshop, writing program, etc. When did you attend? Was there a poet or author there with whom you worked? What advice did you receive that has helped your work or career? Do you have photos? Attach them! Perhaps we’ll use one. Put SPECIAL SECTION in your submission title. Thank you for thinking of South Florida Poetry Journal as an opportunity to showcase your work. We want poetry, flash fiction and essays that inspire, stimulate, evoke, emote, shock and surprise. We want poetry performed well on video that is dynamic and exciting. Transport us by your words to wondrous and strange places, and familiar places that you have made new. Please send us your best work. We read year-round. We publish quarterly: February, May, August and November. |
