We are currently accepting submissions for the Spring/Summer 2010 issue. You will hear back from us about your submission towards the end of the year (2009).
We accept submissions which correspond with one of our upcoming issue themes, or which address other subjects in harmony with our mission statement. If we have not heard from you before, we prefer you to send two to three poems as your first introduction, in order for our board to get a better impression of your work as a whole (although you may send just one if you prefer). Please choose your best, most polished pieces for our viewing, to stand as an example of your writing.
Please follow these instructions:
Poetry Submissions:
- Send your entire submission, with one to three titled poems, in the body of one email, not as an attachment. We are sorry, but we accept electronic submissions only.
- Include your full name, address, phone number, and preferred email address at the top of the page, and each piece, titled.
- Submissions to Segullah Poetry should be subject headed as follows: “Segullah Poetry: Title of Poem.” For example, if the name of your poem is Ravensbrooke, then your email’s subject line will read: “Segullah Poetry: Ravensbrooke.” That, along with your personal information included in the body of your letter, will make your poem easier for us to find and organize in our files, and will expedite your reply should your poem be published in our journal.
- Email poetry submissions to submitpoetry [AT] segullah [DOT] org. You will receive an automated email response confirming our receipt of your submission
- Often a poem is easiest read 1.5 or double spaced. Your aesthetic preference, however, is taken into consideration.
- We prefer not to read poetry which is all capitalized, as it seems to be shouting, unless that is your intent.
- Please check your spelling carefully, since any unusual spelling in a poem will be considered intentional.
- Other correspondence for the poetry editor, such as questions and inquiries, may be sent to segullah.poetry [AT] gmail [DOT] com.

We welcome unpublished poetry as entries for our 2009 contest. Entries may address any subject in harmony with our mission statement. There is no length limit. Poets may submit multiple entries. Members of the staff and their families are ineligible to enter. Entrants must be female members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and citizens or legal residents of the United States. Segullah has the right of first refusal to publish all entries. No poems may be submitted simultaneously to the Segullah poetry contest and to any other contest or publication.
Entries will be judged by Segullah’s editorial staff. Prizes will be awarded as follows:
First place: $50
Second place: $30
Third place: $20
All winning entries, as well as any receiving honorable mentions, will be published in one of our 2010 issues. The authors of these entries will receive a complimentary printed copy of the issue containing their work. The judges reserve the right to withhold any award if no entry merits the ratings established. Additionally, all entries will be considered for publication in later issues of the journal. If we are interested in publishing a poem that did not place in the contest, we will contact you about it.
