Sundress Publications Anthology of Poetry by Sexual Assault Survivors

A project of Sundress Publications (see other related projects).

Do not submit here! This project is permanently closed to submissions (September 2024). We provide the following information as an archive.

About

Sundress Publications announces an open submission call for a new anthology of poetry written by sexual assault survivors. Submissions can but do not need to directly deal with sexual assault. We hope to both provide an avenue for publishing work about sexual assault, as it can be challenging to find markets open to that topic, and showcase the full, vibrant lives survivors lead outside their trauma.

  • 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.
