We will publish a festival anthology in 2025. You must have a confirmed registration for the festival before you submit a poem for the anthology. Please do not submit a poem for the anthology until registration opens and your registration is confirmed. The deadline for submissions will be April 1, 2025.
————————————————————-
Submissions for the 2025 Poetry at Round Top Anthology will open with P@RT Registration. You must be registered for P@RT 2025 to submit a poem for the anthology. Deadline for submissions is April 1, 2024.
Please read the guidelines and follow them carefully. Our turnaround time is short. You can help ensure your poem is in the anthology and the anthology is attractive by following these instructions carefully. For example, please do NOT send long poems or poems in a shape or centered poems.
Guidelines for the 2025 Festival Anthology
– Open to confirmed registrants for the 2025 Poetry at Round Top Festival
– Submit ONE poem of no more than 32 lines including title and spaces and acknowledgment line (if previously published.) No concrete or fancy shape poems, centered poems, extra long lines, etc. A prose poem should be shorter than 32 lines. (The reason for this requirement is that your poem must fit on one printed page in the anthology.)
– Poems may be previously published. Include a one-line acknowledgment with the poem (For example, “first appeared in Borderlands 32 Spring/Summer 2009”).
– Put the poem in the body of an email and attach it as a .doc or .rtf file.
– Make sure your name is on the document and on the email as you want it to appear on the page with the poem.
– Put your name and “poem for 2025 P@RT Anthology” in the subject line of the email.
– Send to poetryatroundtop@gmail.com by the deadline. Poems received after the deadline will not be included in the anthology.
– You should receive a confirmation email from the editors upon receipt of your poem. If you do not receive a confirmation within 48 hours of sending your email, please do send an inquiry.
