About

Five Oaks Press is a micropress publishing poetry chapbooks and full-length poetry collections. We nominate for the Pushcart Prize and any other awards we can find for our authors. Our titles are perfect bound with ISBN numbers, sold on Amazon and our Square Market site. We are looking for concise, compressed language, images that settle like barbs beneath skin. While we don’t embrace an old-fashioned narrative lyricism, neither do we commit to the contemporary poetry of dissonance and discontinuity; our aesthetic straddles both, a foot in each, the space midway. We are especially keen on poetry that explores concepts of home through travel, as well as poetry that explores medical despair, the ways the body fails. Take us on the road; tune our hope-song and grief-song with musings on illness and mortality.

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. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

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.
For book publishers, it is standard to submit a cover letter, synopsis, and sample instead of the full manuscript. Do this unless otherwise instructed.
Be professional, patient, and persistent.
