How to submit
Process
it would be lovely to have an audio clip of you reciting your work to share alongside the text, if chosen (but this is not compulsory—otherwise it’ll be my dulcet tones and Weegie accent). You can always send this later, once you know if your piece has been accepted or not.
Cover letters
include the name you’d like to be published under and a very brief bio (can you do it in two sentences or less?)
Eligibility
No specific eligibility requirements
Formatting
Coming soon! All the Times New Romans and double spaces!
Rights for published work
By submitting to us, you agree to grant us the right to publish your work online and in our anthology in print and digital formats. If you would like to donate the right to publish your piece in our edited collection (in print and digital formats), we will give 10% of all proceeds to the Shannon Trust, a charity which ‘inspires and trains prisoners who can read to teach prisoners who can’t, so they’re better set up for a positive future.’ All contributors will receive a copy of the anthology, too.
Additional info
All contributors will receive a copy of the anthology, too.
About the Magazine
Founded in 2021 | United Kingdom
New creative writing from Scotland and beyond—short, sharp and sweet Stories to savour, playful poems to chew on, sharp words to sook your cheeks in. Do you remember how the roof of your mouth went raw from one too many hard-boiled sweets? And how that wouldn’t stop you from dipping your hand back into the paper bag for another? Soor Ploom Press is an innovative new publishing house that will satisfy your craving for the very best in new writing. Every week, we deliver short poems and flash fiction direct to your inbox. Every six months, we publish an edited collection in print giving a portion of any proceeds to the Shannon Trust, a charity which trains prisoners who can read to teach prisoners who can’t.
