Submission Guidelines
DJ’s Legacy Publishing House reads every query that reaches us. We are an independent house, which means we are selective about what we take on and straightforward about what we can do for a book once we do.
Choose the category that fits your work below, read what we ask for, and send it through.

Poetry
Send a short cover note with up to five poems pasted into the body of your message. No attachments.
- A brief note on what you are working on and why these poems belong together.
- A short bio — where you have published before, if anywhere, and how to reach you.
Simultaneous submissions are fine; just let us know if a piece is picked up elsewhere.
Anthology pieces
Describe the collection you have in mind and include two or three sample pieces in the body of your message.
Tell us roughly how long the finished collection would run and who you imagine reading it.
Collaborations
For readings, workshops, features and other joint work, outline what you are proposing and the rough timing.
Include links to anything relevant you have made or run before.
