About Submitting Work

Getting Something Read is a small publishing site dedicated to short works. We publish short poems, or haibun style short prose. We may also publish short plays or monologues.

We accept original unpublished works. We will accept previously published work, if the author is the copyright holder and the previous publisher is cited. Before submitting your work, please review this page, our Copyright Information page and What We’re Not.

Guidlines for submissions: Four (4) poems, 12 lines or less, or two (2) poems of 24 lines or less. Two (2) works of prose of 750 words or less. There is an exception to these limits: very very short works. However, if you send us too many, we may ask you to refine your submission.
