Words from a Co-Publisher
Thank you for thinking of South Florida Poetry Journal as an opportunity to showcase your work. We want poetry and flash fiction that inspires, stimulates, evokes, emotes, shocks and surprises. We want to be transported by your words to wondrous and strange places, and familiar places that you have made new. Please send us your best work. Seriously, your best.
We read year-round. We publish quarterly: February, May, August and November. Submissions received after the 5th of the month prior to each issue are considered for the next issue. So, for the May 2020 issue, we read submissions up to April 5th, submissions received after April 5th are read for the August 2020 issue.
