Simultaneous submissions are welcomed, as is previously published material. Please include an author bio, and, if possible, a photo of yourself. If one of your poems is selected for a weekly profile, we will contact you and at that point ask you the "five questions" for the interview portion of your profile.
If interested, please send 2-3 poems in the text of an e-mail (no attachments) to oneghanaonevoice(at)gmail.com. Subject line: "Submission".
Special call for poems on Ananse the Spider: We are looking for one strong poem relating in some way to Ananse. Send you submissions using the subject line "Submission - Ananse".It will take us some time to consider if and how submissions will fit into our publishing cycle. Expect that you may not hear from us for up to one month.
Special call for poems on football (soccer): We are looking for poems on Ghanaian football, from back alleys to club teams to the Black Stars. Send your submissions using the subject line: "Submission - Football".
