We hope your holidays and end-of-year festivities were magical … now it’s time to get back to work!

34 Orchard’s Spring 2023 submissions window is now open! We will only be open from January 1 – 15, 2023, so if you’re planning on submitting, please keep in mind that anything after January 15, 2023, will be deleted unread (and yes, we adjust for all worldwide time zones. So that’s after January 15 at 11:59pm wherever you are).

Need to do a quick final polish on your piece? Check out our Manuscript Final Polish checklist here: https://34orchard.com/2022/06/18/sixty-second-sub…polish-checklist/ It’s a JPEG, so you can save the list and keep it handy or print it to use for all of your subs in 2023.

Please refer to our guidelines for information on how to submit. Check that out here at https://34orchard.com/guidelines/, and we look forward to reading your work!

Thank you all for your submissions! Our window for the Autumn 2022 issue is now closed. If you have submitted and have not yet received a response from us yet, you will receive a response no later than August 31.

If you need to contact us regarding withdrawing a submission, you can reach out to us through our Contact Page, or send an email to 34orchardjournal@gmail.com.

Enjoy the rest of 2022! We will be open for submissions for the Spring 2023 issue from January 1 – January 15, 2023.

34 Orchard’s Autumn 2022 submissions window is now open!

Get those manuscripts ready! 34 Orchard’s Autumn 2022 submissions window will only be open from July 1 – 15, 2022.

Please refer to our guidelines for information on how to submit. Check that out here at https://34orchard.com/guidelines/, and we look forward to reading your work!

There’s one more day to submit—we close tomorrow at 11:59 pm, no matter where in the world that is!

We were overwhelmed by the response we received. We got close to 2000 submissions—many of those with multiple poems attached, so the actual number of individual works was higher.

That said, at least one third of them didn’t follow our guidelines, so those, as we’ve stated on our guidelines page, we rejected or will reject unread.

If you have not yet received a response, we ask for your patience. We still have many letters to send, and we still have some final decisions to make.

Our next submissions period will be open from July 1—July 15, 2022, and we will also be revamping our guidelines. If you wish to submit during that period, please check our guidelines page before sending your work.

Thank you!

Sincerely,

Lucy Noone — Submissions Editor, 34 Orchard
