ABOUT Beltway Poetry Quarterly
Submissions
Beltway Poetry Quarterly
does NOT accept unsolicited submissions. The only exception to that
rule is our open reading period for special themed issues.
The next themed issue will be Volume 12:1, to be published
in January 2011. The theme has not been announced. Look for more information
here in summer 2010.
Poetry News
Authors are invited to provide
information about their readings, publications, and other activities
for listing in the Poetry News section.
Information should be submitted any time in the month prior to an event
or publication to beltway.poetry@juno.com.
Please note that listings of Readings
and Performances only include events in the greater Washington DC area,
although we cover a larger geographic region for listings of Competitions,
Grants, Calls for Entries, Workshops, and Special Events (covering all
of DC, MD, VA, WV, and DE).
