We are constantly updating the Directory and the current focus is on UK poetry magazines. Because many of them are run by individuals or very small organisations it is not always easy to obtain up-to-the-minute information (many do not have web sites).

This up-dating exercise is backed by a technical improvement to the Directory. Hitherto there was a limit to the number of words in the 'useful information' section. We have now removed this restriction.

We see the new arrangements as a service to magazines (especially those without websites) as well as to our subscribers.

So, we are appealing to WW subscribers (and/or magazine proprietors) to forward any useful information which they are willing to share about poetry magazines. We are looking for some or all of the following:

Title of magazine
Postal Address
Telephone
Fax
e-mail
Web site
Contact person(s)
When founded
Size of magazine
Frequency of publication
Price
Method of distribution
Type of poetry published
Selection criteria
Details of any payments/rewards
Acceptable methods of submission
Maximum acceptable submissions at one time
Approximate response time to new submissions

Please send the information either via this forum thread or by WW e-mail to me.

Thanks in anticipation

I recommend Avocado magazine (well, it published me!) For all details: http://www.heaventreepress.co.uk/avocado.htm.

A very useful site, where you can read back copies of many different poetry magazines online, is
http://www.poetrymagazines.org.uk/
Other magazines I've had success with are
Obsessed with Pipework ("off-beat" poems - have a look at their back copies on the site just mentioned) and Raw Edge (Midlands based, a good starting point for submissions. http://www.poetrysociety.org.uk/landmark/display.php?id=876 )

Leila,

Very many thanks for the information. We've added Avocado and poetrymagazines and have updated the other two entries.

Much appreciated!

Richard.
