We only accept electronic submissions. Please email your manuscript as a .doc attachment to submit@tiltpress.com. Include your full name in the subject line followed by the title of your manuscript, e.g. - Jill Smith—Bridges Under Water

Send between 15-27 pages of poetry, numbered.

Include two title pages: One with the title of your manuscript, full name, and contact information. One with only the title of your manuscript.

Include a table of contents and an acknowledgements page. We do accept individual poems within the manuscript that have been previously published in journals, but please acknowledge those publications.

In the body of your email, please include a cover letter and bio.

Simultaneous submissions are welcome, as long as we are notified immediately if your manuscript has been selected for publication elsewhere.

Tilt Press
(the guidelines)

Only submit to Tilt Press if you have not yet had a chapbook or full length collection of poetry published. This includes any ‘self published’ collections! We strongly urge you to be honest regarding this rule.

We do not charge a reading fee! Those poets whose manuscripts have been selected for publication will receive ten free copies of their chapbook.
