The window for submissions to Songs of Eretz Poetry Review is now closed. New windows and themes will be forthcoming with the publication of the Winter 2024 issue.If you are interested in receiving news and updates, please email Editor@SongsOfEretz.com and ask to be added to our email list.
What We Publish in Poetry. We publish quality poetry of any genre and length congruent with our themes, including traditional poems, form poems, prose poems, and narrative poems. We also consider extraordinarily good poems that are incompatible with our themes (general submissions).
NEW: What We Publish in Art & Photography. We publish original, theme-centered art and photography that is in the public domain and aligns with the quarterly poetry theme. Also, we accept art and photography about seagulls, the mascot for Songs of Eretz, that align with each season of the year--winter, spring, summer, and fall--as it is when our quarterly issues are published.
What We Pay: We pay a semi-professional rate of seven dollars per poem, work of art, and photograph.

HOW TO SUBMIT
Failure to follow these simple guidelines will result in your submission being discarded or returned to you unread!
***1. Please resist the urge to include anything with your submission that we do not specifically request, especially your bio (we like to read or view as blindly as possible), credits (we treat the novice and the experienced equally), or explanatory notes (if you believe your poem or artwork requires an explanation, please revise it until it doesn't).***
2. Submit up to THREE POEMS to:
submissionssofe@gmail.com
Submit up to THREE (total) WORKS OF ART/PHOTOGRAPHS, any combination thereof, to:
tlcummings.soe@outlook.com
There is no fee to submit.
3. Your Subject Line should be formatted as follows: [Poetry or Art Submission][Title][Specific Form of poem, art, or photograph, such as Free Verse or Shakespearean Sonnet, or watercolor, oil, etc. ] followed by [Poet's or Artist's Last Name].
4. If you are submitting more than one POEM, each should appear in a separate email and include a separate cover letter. If your poem has multiple numbered sections, each section will "count" as ONE poem. If your poem contains more than three sections, query first.
If you are submitting more than one WORK OF ART or PHOTOGRAPH, you may include them all under one cover letter.
5. Your poem(s) must appear in the body of your email(s). WE DO NOT ACCEPT ATTACHMENTS FOR POETRY. If your poem needs to be presented in an attachment due to special formatting, query first.
Artwork & photography must appear as a JPEG attachment.
6. For poetry & artwork, include a cover letter in the body of your email(s) with answers to the following questions
(and remember NOT to include a biography at this process stage):
- Is yours a simultaneous submission or not? We DO accept them.
- How did you discover Songs of Eretz?
- How would you like us to indicate your name if we publish your work (ie: your byline, for example, "By Sammie Smith")? NOTE: We do NOT accept any type of work composed by a collaboration of poets or artists.
- What is your contact information? Include at least your city & state. Include your country if you reside outside of the United States. It is strongly recommended that you include your phone number as well, in case we need last-minute input from you (this has happened).
- Would you like to be added to our Email List?
Again - Do NOT include a biography at this process stage.
7. Reprint Policy: We DO NOT accept previously published work (art or poetry).
Public Domain: We DO NOT accept art or photography that is not in the public domain. It must be original, on theme, or of the seagull mascot.
8. Simultaneous Submissions Policy: We accept sim subs for poetry and art/photography.
9. Multiple Submissions Policy: Please wait until after your poem(s), artwork, and photography are published in or rejected by Songs of Eretz before sending more.
10. Response Time: Please query if you have not received at least a preliminary response in twenty-one calendar days. We no longer guarantee editorial feedback.
11. Rights To Your Poetry: If your work (poems, art, photographs) is accepted and you agree to join the ranks of the other fine poets and artists who have been published in Songs of Eretz Poetry Review, your work will appear in the quarterly issue for which it was submitted. In exchange, you will grant Songs of Eretz the first worldwide publication rights, first worldwide electronic rights, non-exclusive archival rights in perpetuity, non-exclusive anthology rights in perpetuity, and non-exclusive reprint rights in perpetuity.
All other rights will revert to you upon publication, but we would appreciate the courtesy of allowing Songs of Eretz an exclusive for a few months if that is not too much trouble.
12. Acknowledgement: We expect to be acknowledged as the venue of the first publication should you reprint your work.
13. Published Format: Songs of Eretz reserves the right to make the editorial decision to publish any poem, artwork, or photography aligned left, right, or centered. If your poem is concrete or requires a special format, please query first.
