Anon is anonymous in its review process. Please bear this in mind if you wish to contact the editors, as any attempt to connect a name with a poem will disqualify you from consideration.

Our new submissions system is almost ready and is launching this month, February 2010. Please bear with us while we transfer to the new system.

As a temporary measure would all submissions please be emailed to Anna Bacciarelli, our editorial assistant, at the special Anon Submissions email address.

We've had some feedback that some people are unable to use the normal email address. If this is the case, please use anonsubmissions@gmail.com as an alternative

Anna is not involved in the selection or review of poems. Any attempt to contact the editors about a poem which mentions the title will result in your poem being ineligible for inclusion in the magazine.

1. Attach .pdf, .txt or .doc files with no more than THREE poems. Each poem should occupy its own page(s) and have a title. Your name and address should NOT appear in this file. If it does, we cannot process your submission.

2. In the body text of your email supply your name, the titles of your poems, a contact phone number and your email address (even if it is the same one you are using to submit the poems). Do not include your poems in the body of the email.

3. We only accept unpublished poems that have not been simultaneously submitted to other magazines or to competitions.

to repeat – your name and details should NOT appear on the file which contains your poems

4. Do not include any kind of covering letter, query, or list of publication credits and prizes with your submission.

5. Our response time is up to six months. Please do not contact us before that period has elapsed. For queries related to submissions, mail anonsubmissions@gmail.com email address only.

6. Due to the enormous extra workload which paper submissions cause, we strongly advise you to submit electronically. If this is going to be a huge problem, please contact the anonsubmissions email address for help with your submission

7. Here's the Anon Submissions email address again, in case you missed it above. If for any reason it doesn't work, try anonsubmissions@gmail.com.

8. We look forward to receiving your submission.

9. Due to some recent technical problems, we are processing poems more slowly than normally and advise poets to wait up to six months for a reply. Apologies for the inconvenience.
