Poetry Submissions for Autumn Poetry Book
Poetry submissions are now open for our Autumn Poetry Book coming October 2026. We are looking for poetry that captures the essence of autumn.
To ensure the reading process goes as smoothly as possible, please read and follow our guidelines carefully before sending your work.
Submission Guidelines
- Please submit a maximum of five poems per person.
- All poems must be compiled into a single PDF document. Please do not send individual files for each poem.
- Please include your name, pen name (if applicable), and email address on the first page of your PDF document.
- Please start each poem on a new page.
- Poems should be a maximum of one page long each.
- Poems must use our standard upper-case title formatting. We will not accept poems with lowercase titles.
- If your poem uses unconventional spacing, deliberate grammar or spelling choices, or specific formatting that you find are essential to the piece, please include a brief note at the bottom of that poem's page so your editors know it is intentional.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Submission Requirements
- By submitting, you are agreeing that these poems are your own original work, and have not been published before, including on personal blogs or social media.
- We do not accept simultaneous submissions. If your work is accepted elsewhere while under our consideration, please notify us immediately to withdraw your submission.
