Under the Radar Magazine

A project of Nine Arches Press

About

Under the Radar is our flagship literary magazine. It is a lively mix of the best up-and-coming and established poets and writers, as well as reviews and articles. It promises what we like to think of as 'serious frivolity' - serious about poetry, with an undeniable whiff of joie de vivre. Under the Radar is at the very heart of Nine Arches Press - it is the 'hothouse' of our operation. We hope it is a place for readers and poets alike to make discoveries.

  • 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.
