Where to send your poetry pamphlet
With more and more poetry pamphlets being published in the UK, how do you decide where to send yours to give it the best chance of publication?
You’ve written a bunch of poems. You’ve done that thing where you print them out on A4 paper, lay them out on the floor, and look at them. (You’ve taken a photo of this for posterity, maybe even posted it on Facebook accompanied by some droll, self-effacing remark.) You‘ve shuffled the order around to see whether certain poems sit well alongside others, to achieve variation in tone, form, and style, and to create some kind of gestalt for the reader. You have considered your theme, or decided that theme is irrelevant (bold choice, but you do you). You have opened and closed with bangers. You’ve chosen a title. You’ve read Roy Marshall’s piece on putting a poetry pamphlet together at least three times. You are ready. In fact you are more than ready. Huzzah! But what if you put this poem here … and move this one there …
Eventually you can’t bear looking at the little bastards any longer and decide to send it out. But where to? How do you know whether your collection of perfect darlings will please the pamphlet publisher of your choice. Poetry is a broad church, but it’s made up of many niches (pardon the mixed metaphor). Which is right for you?

Pamphlet Publishers
Prefer to go directly to a publisher? There are plenty to choose from these days. But how do you work out who best to send to? Some publishers like formal poetry, while some are more oriented towards experimental work, performance poetry or Spoken Word. If your writing is radically different – in style or in layout – from the kind that the press publishes, it is unlikely that you will be accepted for publication. Some publishers prioritise high production values, while others look a bit more hand made. Is it important that your pamphlet has a spine? It sits much better on a shelf that way. Do you want to have input into the cover artwork? Some publishers welcome this; others have a house style or an in-house designer who dictates the look.
Size matters
The Poetry Business pamphlets are A5 (210 x 148 mm) – this is pretty common, as is the standard B format (197 x 130mm). A few pamphlets are larger than A5, and the mini-pamphlets can be as small as A6. How will your work sit on the pages of your preferred publisher? Do you have lots of long poems, or poems with very long lines, or poems that require a certain page format to work? If your chosen publisher uses an A5 format, and some of your poems are 35-40 lines long, a few lines will run onto a second page and look a bit lost. There’s no substitute for buying a pamphlet or two, and laying out your work to suit the format.
A word about editors
Do editors edit these days? Some do, some don’t. One of the best things about being published by a good press is the opportunity to be edited by someone who really knows what they are doing. If an editor is a poet it's worth checking out their poetry to see if you like it or not. You can even contact the poets he or she has published to ask about their experience of working with individual editors or presses.
And then there’s the politics. Some publishers select poetry based on literary merit, others seem more interested in the characteristics of the poet. How do you work out which one will be a good fit for you? Our advice: read the text on a publisher’s website carefully before you submit.
Here’s a list. It’s probably not exhaustive, but it includes all publishers who have produced pamphlets recently and regularly and who include pamphlet submissions info on their websites.
Arc Publications
Tony Ward founded Arc in 1969 and now co-runs it, with fellow director Angela Jarman, from a converted textile mill on the Yorkshire-Lancashire border.

NOTE: When I told Nell I was compiling a list of poetry pamphlet publishers she said “What a thing to START DOING!! Are you crazy?” I didn’t know what she meant at first, but I do now. I‘m bound to have pissed somebody off, left somebody out, and/or included someone that doesn’t actually still publish. Corrections are welcome, opinions are my own, apologies to anyone who feels misrepresented or shortchanged.
