How to Submit

Dos Gatos Press is currently closed to submissions. During an open reading period, we accept submissions through Submittable, our online submissions manager. We no longer accept submissions by mail. We do not accept submissions by e-mail.

Submissions for the 2015 Texas Poetry Calendar will open November 1, 2013.

For all submissions:

  • Do NOT put your name or any other identifying information on the document that holds the poems you submit. We follow a “blind” reading system: our editors read all poetry submissions without knowing who wrote the poems.
  • Please use Times New Roman 12 pt. for the text of your submission. Single space your poems; double space between stanzas.
  • Place all poems for one submission in a single document—one poem per page.
  • We welcome the expression of diverse voices, diverse cultures—including poems partly or entirely in Spanish. Please include an English translation of a poem written in a language other than English.
  • No previously published work. We consider a poem published if it has appeared online or in print, including personal blogs/webpages and/or social media sites.
  • No simultaneous submissions.
