Josephine Quarterly

About

63 members set this magazine as a Favorite.

Josephine Quarterly was founded in 2012 by poets Komal Patel Mathew and Jenny Sadre-Orafai in Atlanta. The editors are interested in work from both established and new voices. Our tastes tend to run wild from Mary Ruefle to Aimee Nezhukumatathli and Donika Kelly to Lucille Clifton to Louise Glück. A good poem is a good poem. We know what we want when we see it.

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.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
