We are currently open for submissions of New Writing through May 31 and continuously read submissions for Essays, Book Reviews, and Feature Projects. Please read the guidelines carefully before submitting. We do not have a specific aesthetic policy, preferring instead to seek out work that makes this journal memorable, filled with poets who create remarkable work. We encourage you to read through the work we have published before submitting.
We currently use SubMishMash (now Submittable) to handle our submissions. As of 12/1/2011, we no longer accept email submissions (if you have emailed us a submission earlier, we are currently reading it and will get back to you soon). If you experience problems submitting this way or have any other questions, please email us at submissions@theoffendingadam.com or you can consult Submishmash’s help page.
‘New Writing’ includes poetry, visual poetry, ekphrastic poetry, mixed genre work, or anything else you think might be of interest. While we are not currently looking for fiction, if your fiction is less fiction and more poetry (or some other beast) please submit. We respond within 1-3 months. If you have not heard back after 3 months pass, please contact us. Simultaneous submissions are fine as long as you notify us promptly if your work has been accepted elsewhere. Submissions are open from February 6 through May 31.

Please send 3-5 previously unpublished works and a brief aesthetic statement of purpose. Why do we care about you beyond your submission? Each publication is accompanied by an editorial introduction. It is important that your editor has an understanding of your work and your purpose, which can then be communicated to our readers. We prefer for submissions to be in .pdf format to ensure that your formatting is preserved. You can convert your files to .pdf here.
To submit, send 3-5 poems and your aesthetic statement here.
We are looking for pertinent, engaging, and well-researched essays on poetry and related topics. We are looking for essays of 2000-4000 words, though length is secondary to quality.
To submit, send a cover letter and abstract here.
We are looking for reviewers who take a critical viewpoint, whose reviews go beyond mere positive/negative response or brief summary. Tell us why we should spend time with a given work and what we should get out of it. We get especially excited about independent and university press books and chapbooks. We are looking for reviews of 1000-2000 words, though length is secondary to quality. To review a book, send a cover letter and query or completed review here.
Publishers and authors who want their books available for review, please contact us at: editors@theoffendingadam.com
We are always open to other projects that, while not fitting the above categories, deserve to be presented. This could include an interview, visual art, photography, video pieces, audio recordings of poetry readings or obscure folk music festivals, or anything else you can dream up.
To submit a special project, please send an introduction with an abstract or query explaining the project here.
