Submission Guidelines
The Solitary Plover accepts submissions for the newsletter from the public. Items considered for publication include:
- original poetry which honors Niedecker in theme, style, or content. Poets may submit 1-3 poems of any length for consideration in a single issue of the newsletter. The subject line of your submission should include your last name and “Plover Submission.”
- essays, articles, and/or research related to Lorine Niedecker’s poetry or her other literary work, which should be limited to 1600 words.
- news items and events having to do with Lorine Niedecker’s legacy.
All submissions should be sent as email attachments (in .doc, .docx, .rtf or .txt format) to newsletter@lorineniedecker.org. Please include your mailing address and a 50 word bio in the body of your email submission.
The reading period for the Winter issue is from December 1 through the second Saturday in January. The reading period for the Summer issue is from May 1 through the second Saturday in June. Any submissions received outside these periods will be retained for consideration for the next issue but will result in longer waits.
Contributing authors will receive one contributor’s copy of the print issue in which their work appears. Rights revert to poets/contributors immediately after publication. If poems are reprinted later (in a collection or anthology), we appreciate an acknowledgements credit.
If you have any questions, please contact the editors at newsletter@lorineniedecker.org.
