Fitzcarraldo editions covers

Written by Emily Harstone January 27th, Most traditional poetry manuscript publishers charge their readers a fee to submit. You can read about why that is the case here. This article focuses on a number of poetry manuscript publishers who do not charge submission fees to writers, which is good news for poets. This is the longest and most accurate list of poetry manuscript publishers who do not charge fees for online or postal submissions.

A number of the publishers on this list have at least one free reading period a year, where they will consider all the manuscripts submitted to them.

Yorkshire publishers

A few of the publishers are open all the time. Some have a limited window that can be as short as two days, or as long as three months. Not all of the publishers are currently open to submissions. Some have newsletters that notify potential submitters when they re-open. If that is the case I mention that as part of the listing.

A number of them have geographic or other limitations, but the majority are open to authors of any nationality and background. The list is in no particular order.
