SUBMIT

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

  • Spring issue published in April (submission window: 1 March - 31 March)

  • Summer issue published July (submission deadline: 1 June - 30 June)

  • Autumn issue published in October (submission deadline: 1 September - 30 September)

  • Winter issue published in January (submission deadline: 1 December- 31 December) 

Submitted work should follow these guidelines:

  • Work submitted may be on any theme or subject, but works that embody the nature tradition of haiku are particularly keenly sought.

  • Poems submitted should be unpublished and not under consideration elsewhere.

  • If submitting haiku, please submit 5-10 pieces at a time.

  • Please submit 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.

  • 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

We wish you the best of luck with your submissions. We look forward to receiving them.
