Other information
A large number of poems arrive every week. We aim to reply to you within three months, though it may take longer especially if we are considering your poems for the magazine. The editor usually announces which month’s intake he is reading in our online Newsletter.
We don’t, at least for the time being, have a problem with you sending your poems to other magazines while you wait to hear from The Rialto. If someone else accepts a poem of yours while it’s also out with us, please withdraw it by emailing info@therialto.co.uk.
Please note: email submissions of poems will not be accepted nor will links to work via Social Media.
We currently pay £20 per poem on publication.
It is a good idea to read The Rialto before sending any of your work. You would, of course, delight us by becoming a subscriber.
For the time being articles and reviews will be commissioned. Thank you for sending us your poems.
