There are presently no open calls for submissions.

Submit your Work to Anima

Welcome to our submissions management system. When you are ready press the "Make a Submission" button at the bottom of the page. You will then be able to create a Submittable account (which will enable you to check the progress and status of your submission), submit your poems, and add a bio and any additional comments you wish to make. 

Please note the following guidelines:

"Anima is a magazine for contemporary poems which dare to question the dominant materialist paradigm of western culture. We aim to offer the reader thoughtful and intelligent writing from perspectives beyond the everyday world of senses and reason. Poems of metaphysics, mythology and symbolism, of depth psychology or transcendence."

  • Please read the description of our aims, above, and ask yourself if your work fits in with them before submitting!
  • Both free and formal poems are welcome.  
  • Longer poems and translations will be considered.
  • Please send no more than five poems per submission, and make no more than one submission per issue.
  • We may consider work that has been published previously, but when submitting please give full details of where and when it was published, and of any copyright restrictions.
  • Anima does not accept simultaneous submissions.
  • Please be patient. It may take a few months to receive a response, but we will reply to everyone in due course.
  • If you wish to withdraw anything you have submitted please do so as soon as possible (you can do this via your submittable account).

Payment

In the past we have sent free copies of the magazine to contributors. While we aim to continue doing so we have realised that the high cost of international shipping this incurs is unsustainable for us present. For the time being therefore, any poet published in the magazine who wishes to receive a copy of that issue will be able to order one at 100% discount, but will need to pay for the postage. Thank you for your understanding.
