What We’re Looking For Copper Nickel accepts submissions of poetry, fiction, essays, and translation folios from August 15 to December 15, January 15 to March 1.

We DO accept simultaneous submissions, though we ask you to contact us if submitted work is accepted elsewhere.

Poetry & Prose

Submit four to six poems, one story, three flash pieces, or one essay at a time.
After receiving a response from us, please wait at least six months to submit again.

For prose we do not have any length restrictions—but longer-than-normal pieces have to earn their space.

Translation Folios Submit five to ten poems or a piece of prose (fiction or nonfiction).
If we accept, we’ll ask for a contextualizing introductory essay of 800-1200 words.
