About this Publisher

Right now Local Gems Press publishes poetry anthologies from local communities and poetry collections from individual authors. If you are aiming to publish a book with us outside of one of our chapbook contests we suggest submitting poetry to one of our anthologies or serial publications first. (Form Quarterly, The Poeteer, etc.) We typically like to get to know our poets before we consider publishing book length collections from them. Many of the books we have published have been from poets who have published with us several times before sending us their manuscripts.

Country: United States
