DETAILS

Spinning Jenny is an open forum for poetry. We are pleased to consider experimental writing and work by unpublished authors. However, writers are strongly encouraged to review a recent issue of the magazine before submitting their work.

Please send up to six poems for consideration. We prefer to receive no more than three submissions per writer per year, and generally cannot reply to more. We do not consider simultaneous submissions or material that has been previously published in any format. Note that we are not considering full-length manuscripts, fiction, or drama at this time.

SUBMISSION METHODS

Submissions and correspondence may be sent by regular postal mail or email. Postal submissions must include a self-addressed stamped envelope if a reply is desired; we will not reply via email to submissions sent by post. Email submissions must be cut-and-pasted into the body of the email. File attachments of any kind are not accepted. Email containing attachments is automatically deleted from our mail server.

RESPONSE TIME

We accept submissions from September 15 through May 15 only and make every effort to respond to all correspondence within 16 weeks. Because of the volume of mail we receive, we regret that it is not possible for us to provide comments on returned submissions, nor can we provide critiques. We cannot be responsible for the loss or return of unsolicited pieces.

PAYMENT & RIGHTS

Spinning Jenny does not charge reading fees. Payment to authors is made in complimentary contributor copies. The magazine is copyrighted; rights to individual pieces revert to the authors upon publication.
