sUBMISSION GUIDELINES
We publish twice a year and will be open to submissions ONLY during our reading periods.
Moremi Review hopes to showcase poems written by women (Nigerian & beyond). We appreciate stylistic diversity, and are open to being surprised. We will publish both traditionally inclined poems and experimental work. We want your narrative poems, surrealist fantasies, language poems. We want all of it!
However, we do not want any work that harms or marginalizes others, or is sexist, misogynistic, racist, ageist, ableist, homophobic, transphobic, etc.
We are currently open to only poetry submissions from January 15 through March 15 & July 15 through October 15. Our Harmattan Issue is published in December, while our Rain Issue is published in June.
We are currently unable to pay contributors but hope to do so in the nearest future.
