Journal Submissions

& Change is only open to submissions from poets who identify as gay men.

Please send at least 3 poems (max. 8) to andchangepoetry@gmail.com along with a short third-person bio. Simultaneous submissions are welcomed, but please inform us if your work is accepted elsewhere. Previously published work is not accepted.

Issues of & Change are published every January, May, and September. We accept submissions year-round, but you can generally expect a response around April, August, and December.

We strongly encourage that you read an issue of & Change prior to submitting so that you can get a sense of the work we’re interested in, and to see the physical format of the issues.

Manuscript Submissions

Manuscript submissions are welcomed ONLY from poets who have previously been published in an issue of & Change. Beginning summer 2025, we will publish both chapbooks and full-length collections of poems.
