GENERAL SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Cordite seeks first publication rights (print and electronic) for all works submitted. See our copyright statement below for more details. Authors retain copyright of their work.
Cordite accepts submissions from any place on planet earth. The generous support from the Australia Council for the Arts allows Cordite to offer payments to Australian citizen or permanent resident contributors.
POETRY
Cordite maintains an anonymous submissions policy for all poetry submissions. This means that the guest editor(s) for each issue does not know the identities of contributors until after the final selections have been made.
Poetry can be sent during one of the three submission periods each year. We regret that we are not able to offer feedback on individual poems.
Simultaneous submissions or previously published material will not be considered. This includes works published in print and web journals but does not apply to material first published on personal blogs.
CORDITE SCHOLARLY
Cordite Scholarly is a section of Cordite Poetry Review devoted to peer-reviewed research on Australian and international poetry and poetics. Essays published in Cordite Scholarly are reviewed by at least two members of Cordite’s Academic Advisory Board and are also eligible for Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research (DIISR) points.
Essays published in Cordite Scholarly will be available in both HTML and PDF versions. The author retains copyright of their material. Research should not exceed 10,000 words, must not be previously published, nor should they be submitted for publication elsewhere while being reviewed by the Cordite Academic Advisory Board or any external reader.
All essays submitted for consideration in Cordite Scholarly must comply with Cordite’s styling and rights requirements. Read the full Cordite Scholarly Submission Guidelines and House Style Guide. Published research will be unpaid. There are no submission fees.
Please note that Cordite will continue to solicit, accept and commission other types of work—including poetry, other creative works, features, book reviews, interviews and chapbooks—that do not require peer review.
If you are unsure as to whether your research essay requires the peer-review process, please send us an inquiry. Use our inquiry form.
