SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Although we would prefer not to charge a submission fee for the APR, as we face the economic realities of quality publishing, we have reluctantly concluded we must to ensure its continuance.  Beginning this year, we are instituting a $10.00 charge for submission of up to three poems.  Please know that this fee goes entirely toward production costs.  We thank you for your support and understanding.
  1. Up to three original poems may be submitted, with each poem on a separate page. Your emailed submission should include three email attachments, each with one poem included. You may submit fewer than three poems if you wish.
  2. Maximum length per submission is one side of one page.
  3. Poems may be unpublished or published (if you own the copyright and include where the poem has been previously published). Each poet published in the book retains the copyright for his or her poem(s) published in the anthology.
  4. All poems must be submitted in MS Word, Rich Text, or Google Docs. If using Google Docs, include the link or other needed information to access your document.  Use 12 pt., Times Roman font, with the title in bold 14 pt. Times Roman font all in caps. Put your name in 12 pt. Times Roman bold at the bottom of each poem submitted.  For previously published work, add a footnote after your name with the name of publication site + date.
