IMPORTANT INFO

​

• we only accept original poetry & artwork. all of our contributors permanently reserve full rights to their work; we don't own anything but the platform.

• we accept simultaneous submissions, or work that has been previously published - but it's on you to make sure that publication on the poetry juicebox will not violate another publication's copyright guidelines.

• our issues are regular, and there is no minimum or maximum number of poems / art pieces per issue.

• our usual response time is within 1 week.

• submitters may only submit once per week per category.

• 'ambidextrous' submitters can submit in both categories simultaneously.

• your work will be considered for both the upcoming issue and future issues.​
