publication policies

General policies:
e-poets.net does not publish unsolicited text submitted by e-mail or through any online forms on this website. Instead, we review audio and/or video recordings of poetry, select the best submissions, and then publish that as streaming content on the website with the artist's consent. If we really want your manuscript, we'll ask you for it. Until then, consider committing your poetry to some kind of recording, and sending that to us.

When submitting recorded media, PLEASE DO NOT SEND ORIGINALS. SEND ONLY DUPLICATES. e-poets.net cannot be responsible for any materials lost or damaged in shipment. All recordings sent to e-poets.net become property of the e-poets network and associates, and may not be returned.

Please identify yourself and any/all contributing artists on the submitted recordings.

Such copyright extends only to the online presentation we render.
