Caffeine Destiny invites submissions of poetry for its next issue. Occasionally we publish essays too.
Send previously unpublished poems to poetryeditor at caffeinedestiny.com. If you send them as an attachment, send them in a microsoft word or RTF file. You may also paste them into the body of an email.
A few words about yourself and your work are welcome in your submission email, but it's not necessary to mention every single publication your work has appeared in when you submit work to us.
We don't comment on submissions that are not accepted for publication. Unfortunately time does not allow.
Response time is 4-6 weeks.
Once work is accepted for publication, Caffeine Destiny acquires the rights to publish. After publication, rights revert to the contributor.
The contributor agrees, however, that any subsequent publication, whether in print or on the web, must acknowledge Caffeine Destiny. By contributing, you affirm that you have read and agree with the submission guidelines on this page.
Simultaneous Submissions
Caffeine Destiny does accept simultaneous submissions, but our policy has changed a bit: We accept simultaneous submissions, but if one or more poems is accepted elsewhere, please simply withdraw the entire submission. It gets too time consuming for us otherwise, having to wade back through our submissions and make sure we withdraw from consideration the titles you indicate.
Thank you for reading and submitting to Caffeine Destiny.
