fourteen poems is a London-based poetry publisher, spotlighting the most exciting LGBTQ+ poets in anthologies and pamphlets.

We publish three anthologies a year. Each issue brings together fourteen of the best queer poets in the world, printing their takes on sex, love, race, gender, and life in the LGBTQ+ global community.

We’re based in London, but publish poets from all over the world. Submission is free and, with our anthologies, you retain your copyright. We know how difficult it is to get published, so we’re happy for you to submit elsewhere simultaneously. We don’t publish work that has already been published online or in print.

We publish our anthology of the most exciting LGBTQ+ poets around 3 times a year and we want to include you! Our submissions window is rolling, but the deadline for the next issue is 9am BST 19th May 2025. We’ll confirm receipt of your poems by 30th May. You’ll hear back from us by early August with a decision. We contact all poets, whatever our decision.

To be considered, email up to five poems in a single pdf or Word document, with a small paragraph about yourself to hello@14poems.com. Please do not include graphics or images. At this time, we are unable to accept translation work. We pay £30 for each poem published.
