From Nov 15, 2024 – Jan. 15, 2025, we will be reading manuscripts of both full-length poetry books and poetry chapbooks, to be published in 2025-26. See below for info and guidelines:

Please send your manuscript as an attachment to beautifuldayspress (at) gmail (dot) com. Let us know in the email subject line if you are submitting a chapbook or full-length collection of poems. Please add a brief cover letter in the body of the email.

While submissions remain free, we encourage you to purchase one of our previous publications if you haven’t already, to familiarize yourself with the kind of work we’re looking for.

Translations are welcome! Please attach to your submission proof that you have permission to publish the translated text.

We also welcome hybrid texts, works of lyric prose, image-text works, and other works that transgress the generic boundaries of poetry.

We aim to notify all submitters by Summer 2025.
