  • We respectfully request that once you have acknowledged our acceptance, you do not withdraw your submission. We will gladly discuss any extenuating circumstances.     
  • Please include a brief third-person bio and tell us what city/town you live in. SoFloPoJo reserves the right to edit bios for length.

We’re excited about working with new and published essayists alike. 
  •  We publish approximately two essays in each issue. Check our website to read what we’ve published: SouthFloridaPoetryJournal.com.
  • Approximate word count: 1,000-1,500 words. Unfortunately, we are not able to pay contributors.
