Vallum is interested in original and previously unpublished work. Ideal submissions are well-crafted, fresh and edgy. Open to most styles, whether experimental or traditional – though issues are usually put together with an underlying theme in mind, so not all poetry can be accepted, even if it is genius! No unsolicited chapbook manuscripts are accepted. No simultaneous submissions. Poets may also send books for review consideration. Essay and review submissions must follow North American, MLA Style guidelines. Artwork can be colour and/or black and white. Colour is preferred for covers while black and white is preferred for art featured inside the magazine, though colour may be considered. Vallum acquires First North American Serial Rights.

If you are interested in writing an article, essay, review, conducting an interview for Vallum or submitting artwork or a letter to the editor, please send us a query letter by mail or through the Online Submission page and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Poems are accepted by regular mail only.
