LIQUID AMBER PRESS POETRY CALL
Open for submissions
1-31 October 2025
We are a small and high-quality poetry press committed to fostering the publication of new Australian poetry.
In 2026 we will publish 3-4 poetry monographs (each of 50-80 poems or equivalent).
We’re looking for work that is:
- Conceptualized as a coherent project, ie not just an accumulation of individual poems or still at the preliminary idea stage. What is the overall idea or theme which connects your poems/sections?
- All individual poems edited to a high level. We recommend that where possible you have already workshopped your poems with others to refine and develop them
Check out the Liquid Amber titles to see the range of styles and themes we’ve published to date – what would your collection bring to our list?
Heads up
In October 2025 we will receive proposals – two documents:
- Your full manuscript in WORD format AND
- Your responses in the Proposal Profile (you can download this below)
Sent to info@liquidamberpress.com.au
Offers will be made in early February 2026.
