Submit to Sontag Mag

Sontag Mag is a literary magazine appearing triannually and devoted to fostering a community of poets and translators and promoting works exceptional in craft.

We accept submissions of poetry and poetry-in-translation from January to March, May to July, and September to November. We do not accept pitches for interviews or essays on craft. Submissions are accepted via email to submissions@sontagmag.com, and those submissions that do not follow the submission guidelines will be rendered unread. 

All submissions must be previously unpublished. We do not accept translations of poetry that have previously appeared online or in print in English or works whose creations are attributed to or aided by artificial intelligence (AI). Works of poetry and poetry-in-translation should be sent with the following subject line: “Name – Number of Poems” (e.g., “John Doe – 2 Poems”) with a brief third-person bio and each poem beginning on a new page.

Translations of poetry must include a copy of the original poem. Translators must have obtained permission from the work’s original author before submission.

Sontag Mag considers no more than three poems at a time, and we ask that you submit no more than twice per submission period.

We aim to respond to all submissions within three months of receipt.

Sontag Mag is listed in Chill Subs, Poets & Writers, and Duotrope.
