Out-Spoken Press is a London-based independent publisher of poetry and critical writing.

The press is open for poetry submissions for full collections for our 2027-28 publishing schedule under the Editorship of Anthony Anaxagorou.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Out-Spoken Press are now open for poetry submissions of full collections only for our 2027-28 publishing schedule under the Editorship of Anthony Anaxagorou.

At this stage we would like a sample of your poems, together with a one-page covering letter, where you can tell us a bit about yourself (including any publication history) and the work.

Anthony will review each of these and will select those from whom we will request to see further work or a full manuscript.   

HOW TO SUBMIT:

Please upload the following:

• a sample of 3 poems, in PDF format; and
• a short covering letter (no longer than a single side) with a brief bio, introducing us to who you are and the types of themes or concerns you see your work exploring.

Please title your poem attachment "[YOUR NAME] submission" and your cover letter "[YOUR NAME] cover letter".  

All submissions will be reviewed by Anthony Anaxagorou. We regret that we are not able to offer personal feedback on submissions which are not selected.
