Publishing Resources

If you’re interested in submitting an entry for the Griffin Poetry Prize, an important requirement is that entries must come from publishers only. (The complete Griffin Poetry Prize submission rules are found here.)

The Griffin Trust For Excellence In Poetry is not a publishing company, but we often get questions about how one goes about getting their work published. If you are interested in learning more about companies around the world that publish poetry, we invite you to take a look at our database of publishers who have submitted entries to the Griffin Poetry Prize since the prize’s inception.

In addition, the following are resources that will give you insight into how to get published. (If you would like to share other such resources with fellow poets, please feel free to send relevant links to us for inclusion on this page.)
