​​​​VIETNAM  WAR  POETRY
 
SUBMISSIONS

​Submissions are CLOSED. Paul Hellweg is the acting editor, and the anticipated reopening date is April 1, 2023. 

WE ARE LOOKING FOR A NEW EDITOR. THERE IS NO PAY, ONLY THE PLEASURE OF WORKING WITH POETS TO HELP FOSTER GREATER UNDERSTANDING OF THE VIETNAM WAR. IF INTERESTED, PLEASE EMAIL US: vwpeditorial@gmail.com

​
When submissions reopen, PLEASE follow the guidelines below
.  Thank you.  We look forward to reading your poems.


​   GUIDELINES  

   1  -  All poems must be directly related to the Vietnam War,
          its aftermath and/or its repercussions.

   2  -  Previously published poems are welcome 
           ​as long as the original publisher is acknowledged. 
           ​Poems published on this site remain copyrighted in the poet's name: 
           ​Poets will retain all rights to their work
           & are accordingly free to publish elsewhere. 
           However, we would require an acknowledgement for being the original publisher. 

   3  -  Submit  1 - 5  poems at a time. 
           ​Please do not submit again until a response is received for the previous submission. 

   4  -  Simultaneous submissions are welcome

           as long as we are immediately notified if accepted elsewhere. 

   5  -  Submissions accepted by e-mail only.

           Please submit only in Times New Roman font, 12 point. 
           ​Subject line should include the words   "VWP Submission by   [ author's name ]". 
           ​Copy-paste poems directly into the body of your e-mail; 
           ​single-spaced with no spaces added above or below paragraph. 
           Please do not send attachments. 
           Please include previous publications & years of poem(s) 
           ​you are now submitting to us. 
           ​SUBMIT to:   VWPSubmit (at) gmail (dot) com 

   6  -  Please provide a brief cover letter including your biography   [ 150 words or less ]   
           and your website address if you have one.
           If you served in the military or are family of a service member or veteran,
           we'd like to know about that, too. 
           
You don't need any affiliation with the military to submit;  quite the opposite. 
           We'd love to hear from anybody & everybody who has been moved to write about Vietnam. 
           Also, we're interested in knowing where / how you heard about us, so please mention that. 
           Thank you!

   7  -  Works accepted for publication will undergo a careful review process by our editor   
           and may require some back and forth between the editor and the author.  


   8  -  Once a poem has been accepted,
           changes  CANNOT  be made even if not yet posted.
           All accepted poems are immediately forwarded to the webmaster.
           ​Once the process has started,
           ​the making of changes becomes unduly time-consuming.
           ​Therefore,  PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT
           ​UNTIL the work is polished and finished to your satisfaction.

   9  -  Any submission that does not follow these guidelines

           is at risk of being deleted unread.
