ignitionpress: Call for poetry submissions
Deadline: Sun 26 Nov 2023
Established in 2017, ignitionpress is an award-winning poetry pamphlet press with an international outlook which publishes original, arresting poetry from emerging poets. Our first-ever submissions window is now open during November 2023. We are looking to publish up to three pamphlets in the first half of 2024.
Pamphlets published by the press have so far received five Poetry Book Society Pamphlet Choice selections (for A Hurry of English by Mary Jean Chan, Alycia Pirmohamed’s Hinge, Ripe by Isabelle Baafi, Fathima Zahra’s Sargam / Swargam, and When the Flies Come by Fahad Al-Amoudi). Hinge by Alycia Pirmohamed was also shortlisted for the Michael Marks Poetry Award, 2020, and the press won the Michael Marks Awards in 2021.
How to submit
We welcome submissions from emerging poets aged 18 and over anywhere in the world. We consider an emerging poet to be a writer who has had some poems published online or in magazines, but who has not yet published a chapbook, pamphlet, or book-length collection. We expect that you will have – or be working towards – a pamphlet-length manuscript of around 18-20 poems. Our pamphlets are normally 36 pages in total.

Deadline: 23.59 on Sunday 26 November 2023
