The New Yorker generally reviews submissions of poetry and fiction on a rolling basis. Poetry submissions are currently open. Fiction submissions are temporarily closed as we transition to Submittable, and will re-open at this page on November 1, 2026. (Please do not submit fiction via the Poetry tab.)
We are interested in original, unpublished poems and short stories. Please follow the specific submission guidelines for each genre.
Thank you for your interest in contributing to The New Yorker. We look forward to reading your work.
The New Yorker reviews poetry submissions on a rolling basis. We are interested in original, unpublished poems. We do not consider work that has been published elsewhere, including on websites and personal blogs, even if a posting has been removed prior to submission. You may send up to six poems (in a single document) at a time. We ask that writers send no more than two poetry submissions per twelve-month period. We strive to respond to submissions within six months, but our reading time is often longer.
We do consider translations, so long as the work has not previously been published in English. (The original-language text may have been published elsewhere.)
We do not consider A.I.-generated work, except in cases where a human author may be deliberately, creatively engaging with the technology as a formal device. Any use of generative A.I. in the composition of a submission must be disclosed.
Simultaneous submissions are welcome, provided that you notify us promptly if a poem has been accepted by another publication and withdraw it from consideration accordingly. To withdraw individual poems from a submission, click on the title of your submission, click the “Messages” tab, and send a message detailing which poem(s) should be withdrawn. (Do not use the “Note” tab for this purpose; Submittable “Notes” are viewable only by the submitter and will not reach our team.) Please only use the “Withdraw” function if you intend to withdraw your entire submission.
Thank you for your interest in contributing to The New Yorker. We look forward to reading your poetry.
