Submissions Are Open for Issue 27!
Dear Friends of The Shore,
Happy summer (or winter for our friends in the Southern hemisphere) from The Shore Crew! We hope you are enjoying The Shore Issue 26—Summer 2025 as much as we are.
In other exciting news, submissions for Issue 27 opened today, July 1st, and will close on September 1st! There are a few updates to our submission guidelines which are as follows:
Email 3-5 poems in a single document to theshorepoetry@gmail.com
Use .doc or .docx format.
Use the subject line: “Last Name_First Name THE SHORE submission”
Include a cover letter and third-person bio in the body of the email.
Do not include AI generated work, in part or in full.
Only submit once per reading period.
For more detailed guidelines, check out our About page! Please keep in mind that any submissions that do not follow these guidelines will be discarded, so we suggest taking a peek (or a nice long look; up to you how long you linger there).
