TSF Featured Poet Submissions November 2025
Ends on
This is an opportunity for poets who are already working seriously towards putting together a first collection to have a number of poems (usually 5 or 6) showcased in an upcoming issue of The Stinging Fly.
To be eligible, you must be either resident in Ireland or consider Ireland your home, and you must already have started publishing poems in other journals and magazines. We ask that you supply us with three publication credits from the past three years. We welcome poets who have previously had work appear inThe Stinging Fly.
Please send us 8 of your previously unpublished poems together in a single file.
Include your name under each poem that you are submitting.
The submission file should ideally be in Word doc or docx format.
If we want to see more, we will get back to you.
If submitting for the Featured Poet slot, please do not make a separate general poetry submission. We will also consider individual poems within your Featured Poet submission for publication.
