Sugar House Review: Market Spotlight
For this week’s market spotlight, we look at Sugar House Review, a nonprofit poetry publication based out of Utah.
Sugar House Review is a nonprofit poetry publication that is usually published twice per year. Founded in 2009, this publisher is based out of Utah.
The editors say, "Our name is based on both our location and desire to publish sticky, heart-racing, sweet, sweet addictive poetry. Sugar House is a neighborhood within Salt Lake City, named after the sugar beet factory of the Deseret Manufacturing Company (1851–1855)."
This market pays with two contributor copies.
What They're Looking For
Sugar House Review seeks poetry from a variety of poets in a variety of formats. In fact, it has a Sugar Suites to explore poetry in other forms with sounds, images, and other interactive elements.
The editors say, "We want to publish a wide range of good poetry. We look for eclectic swatches of style, tone, subject, and form, representative of the varied voices that comprise contemporary poetry. So if you think you have the goods, bring it—we want to see it."
How to Submit
Potential poets can submit up to five poems in one document via their online submission manager. They accept up to 300 unpaid submissions per month, but it closes to subscribers-only after they hit the limit. So it makes sense to submit at the beginning of each month (unless you're a subscriber).
