Due to strong interest and continued enquiries, Unbarred Press is pleased to announce that the deadline for submissions to our forthcoming poetry anthology has been extended to 30 May 2026.

We have been encouraged by the number of writers already engaging with this call, and we recognise that many people benefit from a little more time to prepare and share work that feels meaningful and complete. Extending the deadline allows more voices the opportunity to be heard.
Selected poems will be published in a forthcoming Unbarred Press anthology.

Submission Guidelines

• Submit up to 5 poems
• Poems should be sent as a Word document
• Please include a short bio (50–100 words)
• Include your full name, as you would like it to appear in print
