• Arc accepts unsolicited submissions of previously unpublished poems, on any subject, in any form. Submissions received before July 31, will be considered for the Spring 2025 issue.

• Submissions must not exceed three poems.  

• Only three poems per poet will be accepted during each calendar year.

• Our submission manager only accepts one file at a time. In order to submit the files separately you must go through the submission process for each piece you wish to submit. This allows you to provide each submission with the title of your poem and it allows us to group the submissions more easily and update the submitter about the status of each individual poem.

• As a Canadian literary magazine, and due to the increasing number of submissions from US-based poets, we are requesting that US submitters pay a $2 entry fee per poem.
