What We Want to Publish
You might be asking yourself here, "how do I get published in this publication, Word Salad Poetry Magazine?" "What kind of poetry do the editors at Word Salad want to read?" My questions would be the same. Sometimes I read invitations from other publishers and I wonder to myself, "which of my poems would this publication want to read?"
Word Salad is rather open in terms of what we publish; we aren't limited in the scope of the topics, genres, or subjects that we want to publish here.
We do have some guidelines in terms of style, though.
- We don't typically publish poetry that is sing-songy, meaning poems that are more like a song than a poem;
- We don't typically have a great deal of interest in rhyming poetry;
- Avoid being predictable or using cliches;
- Be concise;
- Read the other poems that we have published.
