Due to editorial pressures as a result of pandemic, as of January 2021 we are currently limiting submissions to haiku and haiga only. We will return accepting a wider range of material (haibun, sequences, special feature proposals) in the near future. 

​

We publish 4 issues a year, with the following submission deadlines for haiku:

​

• Spring issue published in April (submission deadline: 31 March)

• Summer issue published July (submission deadline: 30 June)

• Autumn issue published in October (submission deadline: 30 September)

• Winter issue published in January (submission deadline: 31 December) 

​

Haibun, haiga, sequences, and special feature proposals are not restricted to submission windows and can be sent at any time. 

​

Submitted work should follow these guidelines:

​

• Work submitted may be on any theme or subject, but works that embody the nature tradition of both haiku and Welsh    poetry are of particular interest.

• Poems submitted should be unpublished and not under consideration elsewhere.

• Please submit 5-10 poems at a time.

• Please submit haiku once only for each issue. 

• Poems should all be included in the body of your email, and not attached as a .doc or .pdf file.

• Submissions of haiga/photo haiku should not contain any word/image credits in the works themselves.

• Submissions may be sent at any time for consideration and will be published in the next available issue.

• We aim to respond to all submissions within a few weeks, but during busier reading periods responses may take 6-8 weeks. All poets will receive a notification if their work has been accepted or not.

• Suggestions for essays and reviews are also welcome. Please direct any queries to the Editor at the email address below.

Please send your work to: waleshaikujournal@gmail.com

Best of luck with your submissions, we very much looking forward to receiving them.
