Salt Hill publishes poetry, prose, translations, essays, interviews, and artwork.

Reading Periods

We have two submission periods for fiction, non-fiction, and poetry: 

• July through August
• December through January

General Guidelines

We accept simultaneous submissions, but ask that you alert us as soon as possible if your work is placed elsewhere by either adding a note to your submission through Submittable or withdrawing the full submission.

We ask that you do not send more work until hearing back from us.

Due to the volume of submissions, we can’t respond individually to submission status queries.

We are interested in a wide range of poetry, from traditional to experimental. 

Please send no more than five poems at a time. 

We only print previously unpublished work. 

We ask that all poems be submitted in one document. We allow simultaneous submissions, but please notify us if a poem is no longer available by adding a note to your submission through Submittable.
