Your ManuscriptSubmitting Your Work

 

We encourage you to do everything humanly possible to get your poetry work into the world, readings, publishing, get up on pool tables in bars and recite. Zeitgeist is dedicated to locating and publishing great poetry that is consistent with its vision and aspirations for the world (see About Us).

We’re still working to do justice to the existing Zeitgeist authors, and to keep their best works in print. It takes all our time and energy.

We typically read manuscripts once a year, in August. However, this year, 2023, we have too many projects in the hopper already. Sorry. There are too many inquiries to allow us even to respond. We love you, we love poetry communities, but sorry, we’re overwhelmed today.

Please don’t send anything, except when we can read. Manuscripts received when submissions are open will be reviewed. Material received otherwise cannot be.

We do have one additional request. Please buy and read at least one of our books prior to submitting or inquiring about your manuscript. This gives us a common frame of reference. Tell us what Zeitgeist book you read, and what you thought about it.
