SurVision Magazine / Submission Guidelines

Submission Guidelines

Please read the following information carefully. We regret that we can't review any submissions that fail to follow these guidelines.

SurVision Books Submissions

We do not consider unsolicited poetry collections or chapbook manuscripts, however we do consider poets' queries, which should be sent to our e-mail address with the word QUERY in the subject line. Such a query shouldn't have a manuscript, or a sample, attached or pasted into the body of the e-mail.

Chapbook manuscripts from all over the world can be submitted to our next James Tate Contest every summer, between 1st June and 31st August.

In January, we have an open submissions period for poetry manuscripts (chapbooks and collections) by poets born on the island of Ireland, or current and long-term residents here. You can include poems previously published in magazines and anthologies, however your chapbook/collection must not have been previously published in its entirety and any poems published in your previous collections or chapbooks shouldn't be included. There won't be any submission fees for such manuscripts, and we'll consider them between 1st January and 31st January of each year.

During this period, please send to our e-mail address a sample selection of not less than 20 and not more than 30 of your poems attaching it in two separate files: one should be a .doc, .rtf or .docx file, the other a PDF file. Please indicate your geographical location in your cover letter and, if you weren't born on the island of Ireland, please explain why you are eligible to submit your work (see above). On all submissions, please type the words MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION and your name in the subject line and include a short factual biographical note only containing relevant information. Please refrain from contributing information about your pets, sexual and gastronomic preferences, and Pushcart nominations. Relevant means just that, relevant.

We do accept work that is under consideration elsewhere, but let us know immediately if your manuscript has been accepted for publication. Please note that this isn't a contest, and we will only publish manuscripts that are a good match for SurVision Books, if any. Our resources are extremely limited, and we won't be able to offer any criticism or advice.

Full-size collections we publish comprise 75 to 100 pages of poetry. Generally, we prioritise Surrealist poetry of any school, and we don't consider overly-politicised or slam poetry. We do consider prose poems and translations of poetry. All translations must be accompanied by the same work in the original language; permissions from the copyright holders of the translated material should be secured prior to making such a submission. To familiarise yourself with the kind of work we publish, please read SurVision Magazine, or the titles we have published so far. We will notify the poets whose manuscripts have been selected. If you haven't heard from us within two months, you may assume that your submission wasn't successful. We are unable to enter into any kind of correspondence regarding any of our editorial decisions.

SurVision Magazine Submissions

Magazine submissions are permanently CLOSED. After eight successful years and the publication of 15 issues, the editors of SurVision felt that the magazine had come to a natural end of its time as a poetry periodical. However, the SurVision website will continue to display all the materials published from January 2017 until July 2024.

SurVision will go on as a book-publishing outlet.

All contents are copyright by the indicated poets/artists. All rights reverted to the authors and artists upon publication in SurVision.

DISCLAIMER

SurVision does not assume liability for copyright infringement or failure to acknowledge previously published work.
