new words press Submission Manager

new words is a trans and gender expansive poetry and hybrid journal, but that doesn’t mean work must be related to those topics. We publish work from emerging and established trans poets. We love polished work that makes us stop mid-poem to catch our breath and relish words; words that surprise us and feel like they were agonized over; words that make us catch fire. Besides more traditional form of poetry (which we welcome), nw{p} is a place for experimentation and hybrid process– work that mainstream journals won’t publish. Ultimately we want nw{p} to reside in the spectrum of life. We accept submissions year round. We never charge a reading fee. Expect 1-2 months for a response. Payment is two copies and a year subscription.
