Technical requirements for poetry submission

Hi Lit,

Is the minimum word requirement for submitting a poem the same as a regular story (that is at least 750 words)?

Thanks,

Hi and welcome to the forum. I'm not sure what the minimum word requirement is for a poem submission but I've submitted poems that are far, far less than 750. There are haiku submissions that are only 17 syllables so you should be fine with anything less than 750.

I don't think there's anything in the FAQs about poem length. I scanned them recently and don't recall seeing anything about word length. I do think if you're at 750 or higher, even if you intend it as a poem, it has to be submitted as a story.

If anyone here knows about minimum length for poetry submissions tell us!

Oh Blessed Pearl (lovely name btw), you might want to ask this on the Editors' Forum.
