About

CultureCult Press invites poetry submissions for Ruthless, a forthcoming anthology of thematic poetry from CultureCult Press that confronts psychological cruelty in all its forms. This collection hopes to document the invisible wounds of emotional and psychological abuse—wounds perpetrators routinely deny, dismiss or minimise, subjecting victims to a secondary trauma of invalidation and, essentially, erasure.

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
