Guidelines
hotmetalpress.net publishes writing of the highest quality yet we do not exclude fine work of emerging poets and writers as well as artists who wish to showcase their work on this website.
We have as our "reason for being" simply to delight our readers. Please take time to read some of our writers when submitting.
We encourage you to submit artwork with your writing. If a submission including artwork is chosen to be published it may be used for "virtual" journal covers in future issues.
It is the responsiblity of the authors to carefully proof read their work to appear exactly as they want it to look on the website.
All rights revert to author upon publication.
We do not pay for submissions or expect reading fees except for the Karen Fredericks Poetry Prize. We accept simultaneous submissions if we are notified immediately when accepted elsewhere..
If you have the capability to send an audio of you reading your poetry, we would welcome the chance to publish that.
