Currently, FutureCycle Press is only considering submissions for our Selected Poems series. This structured series is for choice compilations of one poet's work from formerly published books. Submissions should include a short (roughly 2- to 4-page) independently written foreword framing the poet's development over time in the context of the poetic canon. Intended for seasoned poets who have published a substantial body of work (five or more full-length books suggested, but chapbooks may be included in addition to those), younger poets or those with only a few books to their credit should not submit. We publish both paperback and Kindle editions of accepted manuscripts, usually within a year of acceptance. Depending on the strength of all submissions we receive, we may or may not publish one or more Selected Poems editions in any given year.

Please read the Selected Poems Series guidelines carefully; no refunds of the submission fee will be given for any reason, including failure to read our guidelines.

IMPORTANT: All poems should be presented AS ORIGINALLY EDITED/PUBLISHED in the represented books. Except to conform stylistically with the series format, we will not re-edit these poems.

All authors, including those we have previously published, must submit their work through Submittable; submissions sent by email will be ignored. We consider submissions for the series all year. Although we strive to respond more quickly, please wait six months before inquiring as to status.
