Venus in Heat by Charles Sherman

Sheila-Na-Gig online publishes well-crafted free verse poetry. We especially seek poems with excellent imagery and a strong sense of voice.

Please submit 3-5 previously unpublished poems as one file (.doc, .docx) via the Submittable link. Include a brief bio in the cover note field.

Simultaneous submissions are accepted. If you need to withdraw submissions, please just add a note under the “activity” tab in Submittable.

Sheila-Na-Gig online publishes quarterly. Deadlines: August 1, November 1,  February 1, and May 1 yearly. Each volume will contain up to 30 poets (or more if I really can’t help myself!). Editors will select up to six poems yearly from each volume to nominate for the Pushcart Prize and The Best of the Net.

Sheila-Na-Gig online acquires First North American Serial Rights. All rights revert back to authors upon publication. If your work is later republished, please acknowledge Sheila-Na-Gig online in subsequent journals.
