Submit to Gumball Poetry.

We're totally psyched you want to submit! First, a few things.

  1. This is a micro-journal, published in print to a vending machine at The Stacks Coffeehouse. It's a very intimate reading experience.
  2. We currently don't pay any money, but on the other hand we will charge 25 cents for the privilege of letting others read your work. Considering the costs of printing, machine, capsules, and the included mint, it works out to a bargain of about minus 10 cents per piece. Let it not be said we don't know a business opportunity when we see one.
  3. We do favor regional poets and artists. Or potentially if you're from Canada or Mexico or Peru or Arkansas or Taiwan.
  4. It's worth noting that we can only publish a few pieces at a time, so we hope to see your best. Or submit a few for us to choose between. We ask only for the right to publish your work in the machine (or very occasionally, to the web, upon special request). (Reprints are totally fine, just let us know). All rights revert to you.
